Ryan continued his Rando exploits last Monday with the fastest recorded 300kms in BC's Rando History. He and his partner, Nigel Press, took twelve minutes off the previous fastest time. They rode 300k in 9:28 for a 33km/hr average. Crazy.
Check out his Garmin for all the ride deets. Here's his brief recap of the ride:
There were headwinds both ways, not as bad coming back, but the wind always seems to change midday so that its blowing west in the morning and east in the afternoon. So the only tailwind we had was going up to chilliwack lake.
We pulled Craig and Gerry for 120km and then left them at a control (we minimized control stops and were off the bike for just around 20 total minutes I think the whole day).
It got pretty hot in the afternoon, but we had a bunch of tree cover for most of the climb to chilliwack lake. We had our last water stop at around 225km into the ride after descending from chilliwack lake. I ran out of water 10km from the finish, but it worked out perfectly.
Post ride: tired but grinning.
Riding stoker on the tandem.
Inflicting pain on the others.
