How Fast Can You Ride a Bicycle Across the US?

The annual "Race Across America" ends tonight. Currently the 4-men of the HPV Team (sponsored by Lightning Cycle Dynamics) are far in the lead, and should finish in New Jersey some time after midnight tonight. The main website for following RAAM is here. It looks like the average speed of the Lightning team is going to be around 23 mph, for a 3,000 mile race! Elapsed time will be less than 5 1/2 days.
