You are one crazy MoFo.

I admire your drive, maybe one day I could join you guys.

I just went through some of my stats to see how I stack up. This is what I found close to the 508. I for sure wont ever be riding in an endurance race of that caliber.

818 miles
45 hours
18.1 avg speed
35,237 elevation gain
Spread over 31 days of the month of August average ride was 26.4 miles and I was toast at the end of the month.

I stopped reading the article when it got to "epic mountain climbs."

Everest is earlier this year, end of August....

Here's how The 508 breaks down for a 2 person team. I assume I am going to be Rider A for our team. Should be fun.

271 miles and 18k ft of elevation? My body aches just thinking about it.

your a mad man! I'll be cheering for ya from my couch!! :-)

I aspire to one day be even half the crazy cyclist you are, man. Altitude gain in the 35k ft range is usually reserved for aircraft

Edited for spelling.

I'll be the one concealed in the Bottle Boy outfit hurling insults your way as I suffer respiratory/cardiac arrest trying to run alongside you.
