Record Shattered and a Time Zone Crossed!
a time zone down… three to go!
September 21, 2008
In an effort to shatter the 100 mile distance record set just 24 hours ago, the team spent 12 hours riding through the upper Cumberland Plateau in hopes to reach it to Nashville in time to spend the night on the town. The city lights were seen from over 40 miles away and were the driving force behind the team’s unusual ambition. After five days of camping behind abandoned buildings, empty churches and battling baseball size spiders, the team was looking forward to a shower and a real bed. By 8:30 that evening they were checked into the hotel on Broadway. The official new record for longest distance in a 24 hour period was 122.1 miles.
