Awesome, especially the single-speed unsupported. Just awesome.
An awesome teacher, too. I doubt that many other language teachers got results as good as he did. But, yeah, that unsupported trip when he was 16 is beyond my imagination. My classmate's trip to KY or TN was unsupported, too, but the fact that he had a 10-speed bike makes it less amazing to me. It's not, though. His trip was in the awesome range, too.
