He's been moving for the last 28 hours or so. Jeepers.

Kris and I just did a solidarity ride to San Diego. That was tiring. What Ryan is doing is bonkers.

Okay. Now it's closer to 40 hours. Zombie mode? Bonkers indeed. Impressive.

Should I feel guilty for sitting here at my PC playing Wordle while watching this?

I met Ryan in Palos Verdes today. He was in the lead by fifty miles.

I saw him pass by a Venice webcam earlier. Completely by chance.

Yes. Exactly. Yes.
BTW, I noticed he stopped at the Taco Bell for about 15-20 minutes in Lompoc yesterday. Fucking brilliant idea to stock up on bean burritos for power!!!

Congratulations, Ryan won! He finished a few hours ago in first place.

DABS FTW!
Taco won this comfortably. I read one of his IG posts that he had a bike weight disadvantage as compared to the other riders so he had to ride farther and longer each day to maintain advantage.
Just think what he would have done with a lighter rig.

He could have fed his bike Red Bull, it would have grown wings, then he would literally fly down the coastline.

I tried. The AI image generator has trouble understanding normal human language.
