All the best to the both of you! I"m in awe of anyone who can cycle longer than about 11 hours much less 24! Sleep deprived? How do you ever manage to stay awake for such a long time on a 2 wheeled machine?

Randonneurs do it...Susan, my husband did 300, 400, and 600k rides this summer. The longest stretch of time he rode without any sleep was on the 400, for 23 hours and 43 minutes. Take heart---he always felt more energized and better when it got dark.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!
