Is there a tracker dot I can watch? 

I'm watching the Lael Wilcox round the world attempt. She had just started in Europe.

Both attempts started around the same date.

Much as though LW's round the world attempt is an awesome effort (particularly as she's not long set the women's record and is going for the absolute) it does feel a bit odd when there are significant parts of the globe she can't safely ride across.

No-one's had a crack at LEJOG for a bit...

I have been following Ruggins on Instagram. It’s an amazing endurance feat and so is the amount of training and preparation that was done before the ride started.

Dot watching is HERE.

I think that's pretty much set now, it'd be very difficult to beat that. You need a really clear run of weather - the slightest bit of headwind and you're screwed because the times are so quick now. 

The new One Way North record is quite something! She's phenomenal.
