    :eek:

    Very impressive

    300k a day will be a double century every day...ouch

    I know anyone doing this is going to be in amazing shape, but even 150k a day is insane considering the number of mountain passes involved.

    really it seems the only way to have "fun" during this if you are riding 20 hrs a day is the team option with an RV or sumtin?

    solo would be cool but really 20 hrs a day of riding solo... sounds like certain death. I can see 15 or so hrs a day of actually pedaling being the most i could handle without hating myself.


    who wants to carpool?
