I spotted this a week ago and thought it was worth sharing…
There is a guy called Steven Abraham who is doing a ‘one year time trial’ and is trying to beat the current world record by cycling more that 75,000 miles this year, in fact he’s aiming for 85,000 miles! That’s an average of 230 miles a day! He’s starting off slow (170 miles a day!) with a view to increasing the distances as he gets fitter.
You can see his daily progress on Strava here… http://www.strava.com/athletes/1419435
And there is more about his challenge here…
