Records Will Fall

I saw the updates on Facebook and I'm following Matthew on Strava but only after he finished the whole effort did I look at each ride on Strava to see what kind of power he averaged each day for 15ish hours and check the routes. I read early on that he was heading up to do it at a higher elevation and figured it was going to be as flat as possible because it is a distance record, not climbing. Very inspirational. I'd need to be in a Streamliner or Velomobile to even think of covering that distance, and I still wouldn't even bet on myself haha.

Maybe he will go for the other end of the spectrum next time and try for the Everesting record. Which is a 10X if I remember correctly. There are some people in this world on an amazing level of mental and physical capability.
