The 2008 Sea-To-Sea Bike tour: 219 cyclists. 6246 km. 3881 miles. 62 days. The largest cross-continental bike tour ever.
Starting in Seattle on June 28, and ending in Jersey City on Aug 30.

Why? This is all about raising awareness and raising money to help fight the root causes of global poverty.

Final Stats...

I'll blog about yesterday later, and post a few photos, but I thought I'd take a moment here and post the stats for the final day.

Stats: 99.7km, Avg 20.8km/h, Max 54.2km, Time 4:47




And from the final celebration service, some overall trip stats:

Total Flats Today - the last day of the tour (Aug 30): 36 -- that is a trip record. The funniest of those was poor Kyle, who had his rear tire blow on the boardwalk as we were riding through Liberty State Park. He wasn't stopping, and rode the last 2km on the flat. The saddest was Eritia, who had three!

Total Flats for the whole tour: 819

Number of Seattle-to-Jersey City riders who never, ever, had a flat: 11
(there were many more from the final GR-Jersey leg, but this number covers the entire 9 weeks, which is statistically a lot more interesting, especially in light of the previous number.)

Rider with the most flats overall: Eritia Smit with 28. Poor girl.

Total number of falls over the whole tour: 195

Excited to learn of your cycle ride mission. God bless you all for the noble cause that you are riding for. Cycle is appropriate for this, since cycle is the transport of the poor in the third world.
