A new attempt on the Year Record
Steve set off at a minute past midnight on the 4th of March 2017. This was the start of his third attempt on the HAM'R record for distance cycled in a year. He is organising this attempt rather differently, as detailed on his Facebook page, and inviting others to ride with him.So you want to ride with Steve?
As you can guess, Steve’s year record ride has captured the imagination of many a cyclist. Steve received a large number of requests from riders who wanted to spend time either cycling alongside him or have him attend their organised event during his last attempts. Steve is grateful for each and every request along with the support they convey. Steve does welcome company while he is riding, so please read on for advice on the best way to do so. However, complying with all of these requests to ride in your local area or on your event would put his challenge at risk. Let’s try and explain why.
The Month Record
Steve announced that he was going to attempt to break the UMCA record for distance cycled in a month (30 days), starting on September 2nd.At the end of the 30 day period he had broken the record with a total of 7104.3 miles.
The Year Record
