Must have been something like that.
Re your post #5: When I worked on a Forest Service fire crew in the 80s, two of the guys cycled from Florida to central Oregon one year to get in shape for the season. I forget how long it took them, several weeks I think.
“I forget how long it took them, several weeks I think.” Some pro cyclists race across America (Seattle to Boston) and finish in seven days. One pro lady said, “Kansas never ends. The state just goes on and on.”
