As posted earlier "current record is 96 hours and 1 minute"
According to his Spot tracker, John left Prudhoe Bay at 0055 EDT Saturday. Adding 96 hours would be a "finish before" time of 0055 EDT Wednesday to break the record.
Right now he has about 233 miles to go from West Palm Beach and just over 12 hours to do it.
1218 Tuesday June 9
Have I got this right??
0055 Sat to 0055 Sun = 24 hrs
0055 Sun to 0055 Mon =24 hrs
0055 Mon to 0055 Tue =24 Hrs
0055 Tue to 1219 Tue =12 Hrs (approx)
I have been rivited to this ever since it was first posted! I don't know about you; but, I will be a little sad when it's over, you know, kinda like the day after Christmas!! Do you think there is any chance he might be willing to turn around and go back to Prudhoe Bay for another run when this one is over!!!
the Keys will slow him down quite a bit. Lots of Vacationers, two lane road, and very low posted speed limits (to protect the Key Deer) LEO's are very active.
Just as example, if a person were to ride 5600 miles straight at an average speed of 75 mph without stopping, it would take them about 75 hours.
Now if that same person made the same trip in say 92 hours that would leave 17 hours of total stop time. Theoretically you could eat and drink while riding and there are divices that would allow for elimination but you can't refuel and sleep while riding. This is more impressive than an Iron Man Triathlon.
