Wow. That is absolutely fantastic. Nice work!! Also congrats to Lana, as support is certainly an integral part of any big achievement like this.
How were your knees after that? Kris Last edited by danger_uni; 2010-07-18 at 09:53 PM. |

Joe Meyers' STP 9pm start......
Here's my phone picture of Joe Friday Night at 9:00 pm at Husky Stadium as he begins this EPIC all-night all-day record setting ride.
Thanks for inspiring us all, Joe!

The late-breaking news of your stunning achievement was announced during the NAUCC awards ceremony. The crowd went wild! You are an inspiration.

Another reason why Kris rules - I am glad you were able to borrow one of his hubs for the ride!
If you are still using your set up of the geared 36 with clipless pedals and 125mm cranks...how often do you find yourself using high gear with 125s? I had a hard time pushing the geared 36 in high gear with 125s, so I'd imagine you make use of the low gear quite a lot (50% of the STP maybe?) or do you just tough it out and push it in high gear most of the way except the long climbs? Once again, congrats, I don't know how you do these long epic rides with no handle, I get bad enough saddle pain when taking some weight off with my handle. You are a beast, and an inspiration. What is next on your list of things to do on the uni?
