The riders went out 4 times a day in 10 - 15 mile increments. That's 40 - 60 miles a day, depending on the terrain. I'm not sure how you got 150 miles.
Hard - urban areas were nasty to navigate through both for the riders and the navigators in the vans. Kansas was terrible - hot and humid. It was over 100 degrees the day we were there. Going into Effingham, IL the riders had to slog over a DIRT road in the dark on tires with 170 PSI. Fortunately, they did not get a flat.
