A ride posted by an old club mate

He said he did stop for toilet and food.

He buys his food in a toilet?

Seriously though, that's might impressive. Most I've ever done is a little over 100 mi,especially in a day, and then as a much younger man. Kudos to him.

Me too just enough to make sure I top 100 but not much more.
Turns out he was not alone but with another old club mate, both in their early 60s

I managed about half that distance once (when I was a lot fitter than I am now). Similar area, similar terrain. It took me 25hr. Moving speed was significantly slower than that. I've never, even at my fittest, been able to maintain anything like 15mph/ 25kmh moving over any significant distance. I no longer aspire to such distances. Just too painful.

But back to the OP. The fact that there have been a small handful of people who have set phenomenal annual records doesn't make this 800k ride any less impressive.

500 mikes (810ish km) at a moving average of 15mph (circa 25kmh) is really something.

I did it at the start of the year no problem, I was eating Easter eggs by the end of ride though....!!

Best thing with some fast food

Cute, but no, I meant 'together'. It's a close relationship is people who go out to do these things. Not like us ordinary folk.
Both Kurt and Alicia as well as Amanda have raced my races in Texas.
However, let's all get back to acknowledging the original poster's friend's extraordinary achievement, and leave this sort of minutia out of it.

Amanda never raced in Texas.
