Taco is leading the Pacific Coast Bike Race. He's riding through Santa Barbara County now. Kick ass, Ryan!

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

And for more mind bending, look at the results from last year's edition of the same race: http://trackleaders.com/pacificcoast22.php

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!!!

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.
