Well if your nickname is Tarzan and when you are trying to beat a world record from 1939. He's trying to break the world record of pedaling on a bicycle the most mileage in a year. The record is 75,000+ miles and he has to average around 225 miles a day, so he needs to eat and eat ALOT! His real name is Kirk says he lost 30lbs in the first 3 months of riding.

Kurt figures he’ll burn about 12,000 calories a day, which means he has to eat a lot to maintain his weight. His dinner of choice is an entire large pizza.

He’ll spend most of January in Florida, which is warmer and flatter than Arkansas, and then head to several ultracycling races around the country. He’ll ride his bike during the day, and his crew will drive him and his bike to race sites at night while Kurt sleeps in the back of the RV. He plans to ride Calvin’s Challenge in Springfield OH on May 2. It’s a 12-hour race.

If Kurt sticks to his plan, and spreadsheet, he’ll ride close to 80,000 miles and set a new record.

Good luck, the most I've ridden in one day was 117 miles in one of my AIDS Rides.

I didn't know you'd done AIDS rides. I have several friends who've done that. Got a lot of respect for people who do that.

Hope his islet cells survive the onslaught.

I rode in three of them....two from Raliegh NC and one from Norfolk, VA all to DC. It was around 350 miles in 4 days in June. First one was the worst sort of, only because I did it on a mountain bike on knobby tires and didn't train enough. Bought a a road racer (3k) for the next two all was well. We had to raise $1,500 to ride, I raised just over 5k each time. Other than seeing my daughter being born and raising her by myself those rides were some of the best memories/experiences of my life.

Next up in February is ride around Lake Okeechobee here in Florida about 116 miles. That's that big lake in FL that you see on satalite maps. Oh thank you.

Peace
