Most other cyclists could do it in two.

A man who rode his bicycle 180 miles to have sex with a Scranton teen
Why am I hearing Wizard of Oz music as I think of this guy pedaling along....
Ha! BRAVO!!!
I drove from Benton to Scranton.It took 45 min.
And no punishment for the parents of the 15 year old.
Don’t get me wrong, but there’s no responsibility? nothing that a good parent could posibly do? I think we’re only (once again) hearing one side of the story, But I digress.
As a conservative, I don’t necessacarally advocate punitive action upon the parents, but IMHO, chastizing them at least somewhat is not off limits. Unless you consider the fact that being responsible enough to pay for an Internet connection bill with no reguard in the responsibility of allowing your own children to access it - with no guidelines or rules?
That’s bad, or at the very least, poor parenting.
Lock up a danger to society for ten years (my way would be fifty), but improper parenting lasts a lifetime.
IOW, where are the parents?
Damned teenagers, you can't trust 'em to keep a secret. The first little fight she has with her mom, it's "Oh yeah? Well I've been having sex with Mr. Wagner!" Best to stay away from that kind of thing!
>> Seriously in-shape bicyclists could do it in a long day (15 hrs x 20 m.p.h.)
15 hours x 20 mph = 300 miles. He only needed 180.
More like 9 - 10 hours, but a guy who can ride 20mph for 9 hours can get him a real woman, not a 15 year old. Like, maybe, a “Sheryl Crow” or equivalent. ;-)
Thanks, my benchmark was roughly 40-50 miles a day, which I think roughly calculated to 6 hours on the bike, 6 hours in the bar, 6 hours in the pool, and 6 hours in bed.
Was the girl’s name Daisy and was it a tandem bicycle?

“I’ll get you, my little pretty!!”
No, it wasn't Lance.
Cheers!
Will do better this year: I'm drafting off of my teenage son, who led the pack on a training ride (he on a mountain bike, competing against roadies.)
Cheers!
>> You’re right, while I was typing I was remembering someone who did the MS150 in Texas — and back again — in one day. No, it wasn’t Lance.
Mrs. Tick did that ride one year. But not in one day.
I think it stands for “Masochistic Sorebutt 150”, right?
I can write a better sentence than that. I'm not a reporter though.
Until your wife finds out at the next rest stop :-)
I remember doing the MS 150 in Minnesota and plopping down at the halfway point in Hinckley, MN, and seeing The Matrix for the first time, playing on a DVD player. Very surreal when you are food and oxygen deprived. :-)
Cheers!
I'm hearing some Coolio
...What up everybody so glad you're here
It's Coolio with the flow back in your ear
This ain't a fantastic voyage
But I'm still on a mission,
to see if I can get your attention...
If you're in top shape one, because you'll average 18 - 20 mph or more. The longest stage in the tour de france is just over 100 miles, but includes mountains and the cyclists are going a lot faster than 20 mph.
>> I did 20 mph for 75 miles last year as part of the Minnesota MS 150, with a group I tagged along with.
That’s pretty darn good, actually. Congratulations!
I do triathlons so I train alone, never in a peloton. 17 to 20 mph for about 30 miles is more my speed.
Uphill both ways, though. :-)
Ill get you, my little pretty!!
"If I Only Had a Brain?"
Great tune and even better video. Too bad MC 900 Ft Jesus stopped making music.
