I'm curious how the guys who average over 20 mph for the course handled that stretch. Did they stop at each one and then accelerate up to 20 mph and come to a stop at the end of each block? I'm guessing they blew through every one of them; no mean feat considering the heavy cross traffic.
2007 was a tailwind dream on the US-40 sections, which make up a bulk of the ride.

Still not certain about the Heat that may arrive on this ride- but that could be prepared for. Sounds as though any one that wants a challenge that's do-able- couldn't find a better ride. Most I have done is a 14hour ride and that was hard- but this one seems to be a bit easier on the butt and the legs. Just have to train the brain to do it.
Just wish it was a bit closer and there would be at least one extra entry.
