CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 14years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Strava will probably go into meltdown once the end of the year approaches.
There is also an American, Kurt Searvogel, who's having a shot at the record. He started on Saturday 11th with a rando ride in Florida. RAAM 2015 will count for a few thousand miles in the record attempt.
Apparently he has a carbon fibre recumbent bike on standby for when he's had enough of uprights!
"I appreciate that it is the middle of January, but I reckon he is well down on the record at the moment. By about 2-300 miles"
If averaged over the year then yes, but (certainly was the case when he tweeted a few days ago) he's actually ahead of where Godwin was at the same time. Longer days in the summer will make for longer rides - his site actually has a breakdown of where it ramps up, and where it starts to tail off again. Almost military precision in the planning of this by the looks of it.
NEWSFLASH:
After nearly 17000 miles through the depths of winter Steve has been hit collided with a moped and despite trying to carry on is now in plaster with 2 broken bones in his ankle.
May need further operation to put in plate and screws.
Such a shame...
That's so sad
Yes, it's a shame.
Speedy recovery Steve.
Can't quiet get my head round this but Steve has been back on the road the last couple of weeks doing 100miles a day on a recumbent trike one legged!! His other foot is still in plaster and being supported.

He is using both legs now.
