houston to el paso took me 12hrs, he's ~3hrs west of houston,

thats a full 12 hrs on a bike...so roughly 21 hrs.

These things are tough. He's got a chance though, he has til like 5am EST tomorrow and he's already going. I think he has this one as long as he got good rest last night.

and avoids any traffic/delays on the road. Wondering if he sould have pushed it a little further yesterday, or today is just going to be a very long day.

For some reason he planned for the second day to be the longer day. I would of pushed as hard as I could the first day and wrapped up the second day with a shorter distance. I rather use as much of the night hours as I could too. Less traffic, but you do have to worry about animals and other things like really being tired.

my friend chris likes to break it up and ride more at night. Being I work night I am a bit more used to it. remember I rode through the night to get to your house a few yrs ago, and sixxer and I did it the year before. I think out there being REALY desolate I woul dbe more worried about wildlife on the overnights.

I think I would have made day 1 the longer of the 2 days too.
