With just 23 days remaining in the year, I must now focus on those who could finish the challenge.

With 501 and 607 miles still to complete, Johnny and Carlin are unlikely to cover near-marathon distances daily.

Tom retains an outside chance, with 11.7 miles a day requiring a backbreaking effort, one where he surely must skip Christmas dinner to stand any chance.

Matt and I are tantalizing close, with 140 miles and 55 miles remaining respectively. We can almost see Kev and Chris waiting at the bar. It’ll be touch and go.

I think I’ll go for a ride…

Keep it up everyone.

	Remaining	Per Day
Tom	270	11.7
Matt	140	6.0
Johnny	501	21.7
Dave	55	2.3
Carlin	605	26.3
