Also, 500 miles ... between Abdullah and Keith.

It has been a fairly boring race
Obviously. hippy hasn't been in it. I blame hippy.

This seems to suggest enforcement can pay for itself.
Nope. Never a good way of thinking about it.

Coming on strong with a remarkable approach to possessive pronouns.

Another vegan closure that I've only just noticed--the Blacksmith & Toffeemaker closed in March. I meant to go to the Geekstraveganza there but never made it:

I can't find if it's re-opened under a different name. Must ride past sometime.

Silly me, managed to forget again that Graber was riding a three-wheeler, not a bike in the strict sense.
The century comparison is just an old HPVer joke. :)

Ramsaye was being slightly ironic ...
For the record, I haven't told the 'commissioners' anything. While the DfT has long had a reputation as a poorly-run department in thrall to the status quo, that letter is just the same old tosh that people have been trying for decades and that hasn't worked. Blaming the DfT for it is just buck-passing.
It's no surprise that the press has picked out the bit about cycle lanes, as with the exception of a brief mention of Road Danger Reduction, all the rest is just waffle based on rubbish 'research' (and even RDR is a jargon term that most people don't understand).

If Abdullah rode a velomobile, he'd probably already be there--he's undoubtedly a stronger rider than Graber.
690km in 29 hours seems impossible after such a long race, but if he pulls out all the stops (literally), who knows?
It would be an unusual victory of 19th century bikes over 20th century bikes. :)

I thought he took quite a long time to do the run-in to the ferry, but that may have been a mistaken impression.
I can't find the 'regular schedule' on their F******* page, only this:
The Cave-In-Rock Ferry operates 6:00 a.m., to 9:50 p.m., CT, daily. The last run from Illinois is at 9:40 p.m. The last run from Kentucky is at 9:50 pm.
That may be as close to a schedule as it gets.
The hours were reduced from 16 a day to 12 last year:

As the state transportation departments have intervened, there have probably been more changes.
It could also be someone who actually lives in a mine.
