Shushh!!

[Mark Kahn]

I knew he was up to something because he ordered a mother lode of kahnfections.

[Matthew Hiller]

I looked at the numbers, and this is 75km short of what PBP would be, and well over 3x the climbing. PBP would honestly be less impressive. It feels crazy to type that.

[Jacquelyn Schuler]

I just saw this on Strava. Peter, holy shit. Congrats!

[Chris S]

Goodness. How did he handle the battery issues for Garmin? What about sleep? 

[Peter Colijn]

For the Garmin, I have 2 (a 510 and a 520) and a massive (26000mAh) battery pack, so I swap em out. Do the same for lights and phones. As for sleep, I'm still catching up...

[Zak Jarvis]

I feel weird having ever ridden with someone who could do that.

Shiiiiiiiiit.

Peter, are you planning on winning the Trans Am by such a margin no one else bothers entering?

i think the lack of sleep is more shocking than the 700 miles.

i don't think i have ever stayed up 62 hours straight or anywhere near close to that.  i have stayed up ~40 hours straight after eating 1 lb of chocolate covered espresso beans and then was sick for 2 days.

congratulations on such an amazing feat.

[Stefan]

Yeah, I still can't wrap my head around it. The lack of sleep, what to eat and when, light, then dark, then light, then dark...,4 centuries down, three to go. 50k of climbing. A single ride that is roughly half of my own year-to-date distance.

Well done Peter. An amazing accomplishment. I can't believe I actually know someone who's done this. 

[Nathan Davis]

Amazing. I have yet to put that many miles in during a single motorcycle ride, I can't even fathom doing it on a bicycle.

Do you now understand why I didn't sign up for STP this year? :P

[Ryan Anderson]

I just want to clarify: If you sign up for STP, you are not
*obligated* to bike to Seattle, then bike to Portland, then bike home.

That is DEFINITELY not a requirement.

[Ken MacInnis]

Got a special edition for you next year: https://goo.gl/maps/rhyvajvGvp72

[Christine Ryan]

Oh, crap. You know what you've done now, Ryan.

[Yuanyu Chen]

I feel like Peter would find the Canada bit a positive thing :p

[Daniel D.]

Impressive ride, huge flyby list...

[Peter Colijn]

Wow, that's only slightly more climbing than the ride I just did...

[Christine Windsor]

Ryan and Ken, no more cookies for you!

Peter has promised that he is not doing any more crazy* rides for the rest of the year. 

*for some definition of crazy. 

[Mark Kahn]

Are you sure he didn't say he won't be doing any crazier rides for the rest of the year?

You should negotiate a number of hours that counts as "crazy", just to be safe.

What's your definition of year"?

[Ken MacInnis]

The amount of time it will take me to ride the mileage of a single Colijny ride.

They describe it as "over seven days," which is not what I understood the case to be.

That's odd. They asked me about possibly posting something but didn't say they were going to go ahead, on a Saturday no less. Ah well.

[Alexandre Passos]

Yeah. In attempting to hype this up they undersold it...

LOL. You should've named your ride "one deadly Septcentury"

[Maciek Wojciechowski]

Looks like Peter just missed the start of CTR: http://www.climbingdreams.net/ctr/ 500miles of MTB with close to 100miles of hike-a-bike...

Which made me find SPOT for satellite tracking (and emergency): http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=100. Maybe we should buy one for Peter so we can track him real time on his sure to come across the country adventure?

Ride report for anyone interested: http://colijn.ca/~caffeine/?m=201607#24

(It's long, but so was the ride...)

[Eric Manuel]

Great write-up.   I teared up at the end.   I have a soft spot for epic journey tales and the return to society finishes.

Cheers,

E

[Mark Kahn]

Great write-up (as usual), and thanks again for the kahnfections shout-out!

[Justin!]

Really impressive adventure/insanity and great writeup!

[Yvonne Yip]

Nice writeup! My mind is still blown.

that is fucking funny, i totally forgot that i suggested it a year ago until giles pinged me since he read your ride report and i hadnt yet.

one again, well done.  really well done.

and i promise christine that i wont make anymore suggestions.

[Ryan Anderson]

So, assuming you made some bad choices, and did something like this again... would you take the next day off work?

'cuz, honestly, that was the biggest "WAT?" moment I had, in the whole thing.

Ryan

[Darrin Ward]

and by the way for future reference, murph has turned me on to route 5.

it avoids going all the way up d which can be irritating when tired or full of beer or its really windy (which usually two out of the three has applied to me).

not very pretty but who the fuck cares 60 hours into a 65 hour bike ride.

lurch

[R Samuel Klatchko]

Darrin- can you provide more details about route 5 (perhaps a Strava ride that you rode it on).

[Christine Ryan]

Damn, that's good!! And what a great idea, Cordelia!!
