Can someone keep an eye on this guy (run across America)

I can guarantee that any average speed above 15mph contains some element or elements of cheating. They are incapable on those bikes of riding above this speed as an average. Trust me or ask anyone that knows about biking.

Gardening leave? Riding with these two will really make your cucumber grow.

You better stay away from DArren now! ha ha

I'm was trolling guys. I'm a fake.

We will NOT be warned off.

Stop getting obsessed with lawsuits. There's nothing illegal in here.

Carry on.

Cool. Can you register this handle now so trolls cant hijack it.

Dont say WHERE exactly you are meeting them.

Filming everything on a Go Pro is the way to go.

He wont attack you. I dont believe anyone called George went to meet him and was attacked. Just Darren using scare tactics.

Poor Darren, he better rest up and do even more RV riding as he's going to need all his strength to actually ride for two whole days!

You will destroy him!

Sure, plenty of people have ridden across the country on a road bike. But how many have done it on a mountain bike? If they were on road bikes, their average speed would be 16-17 mph. But it's 10-11 on a mountain bike, for the same effort. So they're only covering 60% of the distance they would on road bikes.

So it's totally legit for them to skip a few miles here and there. Especially because they're not taking the shortest route across the country. Even with missed legs, they'll still have ridden more than 3000 miles on mountain bikes. Which is the equivalent of 5000 on a road bike.

This is shaping up to be one of the greatest cycling feats ever by anyone over the age of 50.

We just saw yesterday, that Darren Kavinoky is riding through our wonderful New River Valley today.

We have contacted our members and some of us will look for you today.

Looking forward to meet you and your team.

For the record, because of the inconsistancies in the GPS data that I have seen, I remain doubtful of his claims that he is riding the entire route. Earler Darren posted a video where he said he would do this trip by his own power, whether it was by bike, running, walking, pogo atick, or crawling by his hands and knees. I don't think that is happening.

Not much to worry about. GPS data or the lack of it shows already that Darren and Kyle are driving.[/quote]

This is weird. Why was the original posting where I made these remarks about the GPS inconsistancies deleted? My deleted comments also referenced Curious George's litigation warning. Why the deletion?

There are gaps and inconsistancies in Darren's GPS data. Now there will be gaps and inconsistancies in the comments. C'mon dudes, we want integrity from Darren, how about keeping the integrity of this thread.

This is not a bad point. I can't think of one single person over the age of 50, in the history of the world, who has ridden across the country partially on a mountain bike and partially in an RV traveling 17 mph. Possibly because nobody in the history of the world has been quite so stupid. But records have been claimed for stupider stunts than this.

The first rule of following Darren club is you do not talk about following Darren club.

You all have been told some fantastic lies. Hahahahaha

They left at 8:20 central time, 9:20 eastern time

Start

Duration 97:22:34, 1102.9 miles

First 4 mile aplit

97:37:19, 1106.9 miles,

4.0 miles in 14:45, 16.3 mph

I'm not going to track this guy all day, though I may periodically check his status. Hopefully there are people who can be there in person.

These speeds seem legit on a mountain bike, on flat terrain, after over 1100 miles of "biking," right?

Maybe it's time to leave them alone.

This one move, right here, does seem legitimate. I'll call it the "Ball Sack." He was on a frontage road, Kirby Road, that went around the southern part of the intersection of 100 and I-81. When he turned to go north to get back onto the frontage road, he mistakenly got onto north bound 100 and had to spin around and go south along the shoulder and back east on the frontage road. He couldn't have done that with a bus.
