4 people alternating riding from Oceanside to Annapolis on a bicycle in about 7 days. That's averaging about 18mph. Not to mention the van and RV following the whole time. I know he was training until midnight or later for about 6 months or more at home until the race.

He told me he had a heavy dose of Mountain Dew and Pop tarts in his diet also that seemed to help.

There was 1 team from England that gave up because they almost died of heat stroke in Arizona.

Apparently you can do this race as a team of 2 or as a solo rider too, which is insane.
