For them to ride 20 is do-able though and all we have to do is get the event on the right track so I can get the 20 riders to commit to doing 20 miles. there would be a few failures even on this distance so to get them up to 100 and I doubt I could find 5. And then to get them to do 180 and the "One" rider will be doing it on his own with a good chance of him finding out what target he has set.
True. That's about the attrition rate that I would expect - most companies are not representative of the members of BF. Jeez, I work for a company about that size and at 550 miles in 2012, I'm probably in the top 5 or 10% of riders!
Tell the manager who came up with this brainstorm that he can ride the entire run and the rest will relay it, to keep him going. Let's see how far that goes. As I said, this is half-baked at best.
