230 miles yesterday, but he didn't get home til 1am, which may be a problem for today.

Yet another magnificent effort yesterday - 205 miles, a familiar-sounding number. But he was out for 17 hours.
He's now within 10,000 miles of Tommy.
Another back-of-an-envelope calculation. With 46 days to go, in order to reach the final 30 days with the Godwin target no greater than his 2016 month record, Steve needs "only" 178.1 mpd over the next 16 days - less than he's been maintaining recently.

Steve has lost a bit of speed of late (Based on Strava "moving time")
But the good news is that his popularity is holding up!

Steve should pass Bernard Bennett's 1937 record of 65,127 miles today.

Steve averaged 216 miles a day for the first two days of this week, which is exactly what he needs to beat Tommy.
An inevitably later start today, so reaching 216 miles by midnight or not long after won't be easy.
Hopefully the wind has eased, which may enable Steve to up the pace.

162 miles in the wind yesterday, to add to his early morning 23 giving 185 for the day.
Not much help from the wind and still slowed down by injuries

It might be worth noting that in my version of Steve's stats, although my totals match yours to within a fraction of a mile, I've always coupled any after midnight activities with the previous day's. So I have 205 miles for two days ago, 162 yesterday.
If Steve is still significantly held back by injuries I fear that Godwin is too far away now to be caught. But a rapid start, well before 8am today shows that he's nowhere near giving up. Over this way we have a sparkling morning, more indicative of early spring than mid-winter.

It doesn't really make much difference, unless he's done a morning ride and not yet completed today's ride, in which case the incomplete day will have a very low mileage recorded. I did look into gluing together rides split over midnight, but it was complicated and I gave up.

2018-01-18 07:36 180.0 miles Got sleepy riding into headwind, so eased off. Weight down to 62kg, so I ate more, which meant several toilet stops
2018-01-19 00:04 35.0 miles Not sure why so slow. Headwind? Injuries? A bit of both?

Looks like Steve didn't make it home until nearly 3am.
He was out again at 10am, which is a tremendous effort but will make 200+ miles today even more of a challenge.
Average so far this week is about 202 miles a day.
Regrettably, that means Steve's lost more ground to Tommy, so that target has gone up by a mile or two a day.

Haha, sadly not! Haven't managed to intercept him yet.
He went up the Slad "Cider with Rosie" Valley just now. Very scenic, if only it were light! I'm guessing he'll decend the valley to Cirencester and return to MK the "easy" way. Another very long day. Hats off to the guy. I wouldn't've put a wheel outside today.

Sounds like a grand route, although perhaps not one for someone purely out for miles.
I shall leave Doggers to do his usual excellent job of crunching the numbers, but Steve has fallen further behind Tommy this week, making beating him increasingly unlikely.
