Foon's Finished!

Call it the adventure of a lifetime,  a proud accomplishment,  crazy.  Call it what you want.  Tim finished his trans-continental ride yesterday.  19 days to ride coast to coast.  3000 miles.  more than 95 THOUSAND feet of climbing. 160 Miles a DAY.  I can't imagine it.....  Pictures here were lifted from the PAC Tour slideshow.

A quick little ride
Yesterday,  Foon got to wade out into the Atlantic Ocean

He's not alone in his possible mental illness.....

The Tandem Capitan from the ride posted the telemetry from the ride,  should you wonder what the profile of such a ride would look like

I,  for one am impressed.  Taint of steel. Man of Iron.
The boy ought to be pretty damn fit after a rest.  Ought to be "fun" riding with him.

Good Job Tim !!

  1. I also am tremendously impressed; awed. The hugeness of the accomplishment is outa sight. Completing it at 160m/day, at almost 17 avg mph is staggering. I am rightly amazed but humbly not inspired - that's way bigger than i will ever go near.
    Congratulations Tim!! Brilliant work!
