Spin, if you and Benge are correct and he's only got 2400 miles ahead and 38 days, that's less than 65 miles a day and assuming the young man remains healthy, that not that difficult. I don't know where they came up with the initial 3900 miles.

Anyway, it's a shame he's not coming thru farther north and he could join me in my charitable ride. You see I'm trying to raise cash so I can buy the Senate seat left open by Obama. I'm calling it,
"Biking for Blago....One Bike, One Bribe"
