235 miles a day for a year (Amanda Coker Challenge)

[tallliman]

I'd agree, he must need an extra 30miles or so a day now and appears to be struggling by the titles of his rides.

I think we can safely say that he's not even trying to go for or emulate Coker's new record, but looking like he can easily beat Godwins and Searvogels.

I don't want to 'like' this comment, but I totally agree with it. It must be very tough to keep going knowing that you are highly unlikely to break the record. I assume there is not someone out their ratifying an on road / no recumbent record?

The asking rate for AC's total is now up to 247.1 mpd
Meanwhile the asking rate for TG's total is 197.0 mpd and KS's total is 201.4
He'll probably set a HAMR age group record. Beating some guy called Stephen Abraham. He needs 147.2mpd to do that.

It's the red dotted line on my graph above.
He's 1,184 miles behind it.

So he needs to be about 6mpd above his target but is slipping day on day.

I have updated the donations list to show those for this year. He's going to be quite tight for funds to complete this attempt.

Its a shame as these weeks should be his most productive, he still has the whole of autumn and winter to ride through.
How on earth does he maintain motivation with the record now clearly out of reach.

Unfinished business with Mr Godwin?
Because he enjoys it?

Steve's had a few health issues which should be behind him now.
