Since our last edition, Steve has been pedaling hard up and down the A77 and in the middle of October completed the first 10,000 miles of his challenge. The long summer days allowed Steve to rack up a lot of miles and for the most part he was averaging well over 200 miles a week in pursuit of his goal: and all of that on top of a full time job at an engineering factory on the south side of the city. Steve’s schedule is geared towards passing halfway early in 2015 and if all goes according to plan, he should reach his target sometime late in 2016.
