The Impossible Ride Gets America Moving is... An “Impossible Ride.”
Bicyclist Michael Secrest will attempt to bicycle across the U.S. (from California to Florida) in only 2 days, drafting behind a semi-tractor/trailer, traveling at an average speed of near 60 miles per hour! That is the equivalent distance of riding the Tour de France (which takes three weeks and covers approximately 2,100 miles) in less than 1/10th the time!
This ride will require Secrest to AVERAGE the "impossible" speed of 60 m.p.h. that was achieved in 1899 by "Mile-A-Minute Murphy", but for approximately 2,440 miles.
The Impossible Ride Gets America Moving will occur in October, 2008 (weather conditions permitting).
Michael Secrest - ultramarathon cyclist, winner of the RAAM (Race Across America) and holder of several cycling world records.
Starting in California and covering all of the Southern-most states between there and Florida.
The Impossible Ride Gets America Moving will bring attention to Secrest’s and the healthcare community’s commitment to increase activity.
