Today (Tues 6-6) I was watching Darren's ride via the UPS tracking and was logging some of their mile splits.
At one point they did a 10 mile stretch at 11.23 mph. The clock time went from 28:39:12 to 29:32:47 and distance from 293.03 to 303.06. 10.03 actual miles. 11.23 mph seems about right for amateur riders on those type of bikes.
Then the next 5 miles the suddenly averaged 14.90 mph. The clock time went from 29:32:47 to 29:52:50 and the distance from 303.06 to 308.04. 4.98 actual miles. 1.6 miles later they stopped at a gas station.
How is it possible that they suddenly can jack up their speed like that?
Yesterday (Mon. 6-5) I was also watching via the GPS tracking and logged a few mile splits. For some reason they would stop before the small towns and the GPS would say "Standing Still". Then their speed would decrease, and then there would be another brief "Standing Still" outside of the town, followed by increased speed. It seems as if they're riding through towns, then jump back in the RV when out of sight.
I'm not sure why I'm so obsessed with this fake trip. Perhaps because I want them busted because of their blatant disregard for the truth. C'mon dudes, come clean. This is a scam.
