    That's like 100 miles a day. not much a challenge, I do that commuting.
    Good luck though, MS is a shitty thing.

    Edit: Yes it sounds more interesting if you read into it, but opening thread here is deceiving. I wish paul luck with his endeavor.
    PS, I still did the math long hand.

    Yeah, seems like it should be in 10-12 days to me.

    Again, great cause though.

    Take a minute to read his link. His goal is quite a bit different than 5k / 50 days.

    In 2013, Paul longhaulpaul Pelland, a former motorcycle long distance competitor will attempt to break the current long distance record of 31,000 miles in 31 days to raise awareness and much needed funds for MS research and programs. While Paul’s ride is extreme, the MS5000 Motorcycle challenge was created so motorcycle riders across the country can join in Paul’s goal of raising at least $25,000 for MS.
    Thanks for posting Paul and good luck!

    No, I had to long hand it. Luckily I had your GF's ass and a crayon handy.
