Final lap complete. This took 16 hours and 21 minutes. I was on my saddle for 9 hours and 32 minutes. The first 50 miles I average 13 miles per hour, and the second 50 miles I average 8MPH. My max speed was 30.4MPH, highest elevation was Lookout Point at 226.4 feet (which I crossed over a dozen times), and the lowest elevation was at the water, 0 feet. Between the many hills here I had 4511 feet of elevation change. The current temperature is 91°, the current humidity is 84% and the RealFeel™ is 104°. I used up 2 battery backups and my phone is currently at 2%. I drained the batteries for four forward facing lights, and two rear facing lights, emptied the battery of my JBL speaker entirely, and burned 7000 Calories. I'm currently running on 350mg of caffeine, 1500mg of Tylenol, 1200mg of Ibuprofen (and healthy stuff like fruit and eggs). Thank you everyone for your support. Now I'm going to sleep until Sunday.

I believe in the excellent programs of Christian Encounter Rance (CET) and the work they are doing and that is why I am participation in this year’s 24-hour Agony Ride. Please join me in raising funds to help this organization y.
All money raised will help troubled young people enrolled in the discipleship and counseling program at CER, where they receive an education, counseling, and discipling, as well as training in life-skills. The Ranch has been helping kids since 1970 without receiving government funding.
Please be my partner and support this worthy cause with a per-mile or flat pledge. Even though my weary body and sore muscles are not tax-deductible, your contribution is.
