There 's a statue of Elgar leaning on a bicycle over to your left, MisterTea - not quite on the virtual route, but worth a look if you are ever there for real!

I'm in Ludlow - it's nice to be back even if it's only in a virtual way.

I didn’t think it was. If it is, I’m definitely not winning it.

My own view is that the clue is in the title: it's a challenge. That doesn't make it a race, but equally it doesn't preclude some participants from treating it as a race. :-)

For some, the challenge might be to log 100 miles of walking in six months. They won't "win", but they might achieve a personal objective. (And, for what it's worth, I suspect that the "winner" didn't view it as a race.)

I don't see it as a race either.

It's more an opportunity to set a personal challenge - whether that's to complete the whole distance in a given timeframe or cover a given distance in the whole time window doesn't matter - and to have a bit of fun along the way.

It's not a race? That† explains why I'm not winning...

†Or at the very least, it might be part of the explanation.
