Attached article in Raleigh News & Observer brought to my attention today, thought I'd share...
Have a good friend & riding partner from days in Chicagoland 'burbs who has his name in "The Book". Perhaps some day:rolleyes:

Very cool. I'd consider trying to qualify, but I can't afford the divorce attorney. And I don't want to end up curling up with my bike on a cold winter's night.

The qualifying 375 mile ride from 6am - 10pm? That's 23.4 mph average; probably wrong.

My wife couldn't do that driving a car. She wears out after about 300-350 miles.
