How about the skateboarders! I met one of them in Coralville. He had completed every day and fully intended on completing the entire route. He had already gone through 3 pairs of shoes at that point.
I could not believe the skateboarders. That's just insane.

There was also a guy on a unicycle, and a guy on a pennyfarthing. One of the days I saw two pennyfarthings side by side, but I think only one was riding for the whole week. I even saw a two-seat surrey one of the days! Later I saw the riders pushing that surrey up one of the hills.
