+437 km.
Over 440km done. For those who prefer imperial, over 275 miles. That is over two hundred and seventy five miles. Or more as a psychological jump, over 400 km and by a good margin and 300 miles within touching distance.
As I had ridden up to Yorkshire and Mrs Stav had her bike on the roof of the car, the obvious thing to do is to ride home - just with a few added miles.
I used the route I've been practicing on, modified for the Howardain Hills and then looping back home south of Spalding. For the data:
Couple of quick things to note:
I did more cycling last week, but I wanted to get this up now and quick so I'll add more info when I have a chance.

Couple of quick things to note:
- Ignore the "2nd fastest times" on the data image - these were all PB's but due to the way I had to manage the .gpx files, they appears as "2nd" to a file I deleted.
- Garmin 510's quit at around 16 hours
- Dynamo hub/light - just awesome.
- 25mm tyres are far better than higher pressure 23mm's, why did I ever used to ride on them???
- Storms near Spalding late at night aren't fun.
- It hurts to pee some times.
- Finishing at 3am is hard but I think I could have kept going. The 200 mile marker didn't phase me on this course and food was managed far better.
- I cycled 275 miles!!!
