WOW Is right..but did you read the rest: - can you fathom DRAFTING an 18 wheeler on PURPOSE!!! Totally stunned.
Stolen from the link above:
Perhaps his most outrageous, purely zen-based 24-hour effort was in 1990, when he drafted an 18-wheeler around the Phoenix Motor Speedway for 1216.81 miles over 24 hours (a 51-mile an hour average!).
Secrest also won the Race Across America in 1987 (the year I placed 9th as the youngest ever finisher) and set the still unbroken transcontinental record of seven days, 23 hours, 16 minutes in 1990.
Secrest, though 53 years old now, proved his pre-record comment that he's not a lick slower now than ten or twenty years ago. It's also impotant to note that he used the exact same bike for both his 1996 and 2006 records. The only difference was that he rode Aerospoke wheels with clinchers in 1996, while in 2006 he rode Hed wheels with tubulars.
