How Long Does It Takes To Race Your Bike From Coast to Coast?
8 days and 23 hours.
That’s how long it took Race Across America winner Jure Robic. He started in Oceanside, CA and finished in Annapolis, Maryland yesterday.
Amazing.

Apparently he did it in 2004 on something approaching 8 hours of sleep. I want to call bullshit on that, but dude - he *actually* crossed the country in 8 days. That’s hardly enough time to do it in a freaking car.
Apparently his avg speed this year was just under 14mph. That will mean nothing to most people reading that, but for those of us who’ve regularly tried 100+ mile days? Wow.
