212 Gut Check-in

Sporadic reports from the Gut Check have been trickling into my inbox.

Report 1 received Friday @ 11:38pm CST: Pete Hansen reported to his wife Sarah that he had been riding since 4pm CST and had covered about 130 miles. He told Sarah he plans to bike straight through. Sarah says she cannot say CRAZY enough times.

Report 2 received Saturday @ 10:28am CST: Pete called Sarah to report he had 300 miles down. 114 to go, hoping to be done in about 8 more hours (6:30pm CST).

GO PETE GO!

Makes my pathetic little 25 mile loop around the path this morning look like chicken feed.

to be continued.....

Report 3 received Saturday @ 9:30 Pete finished at 6:08pm CST, 26 hours and change. Unreal!

Final times are posted here. These guys were hauling the freakin' mail!! Congrats to all the participants and especially the finishers.
