Subjecting one's E level to testing on the road isn't fun but something I have done. Your statements about miles and eating are very believable. I think I stated that I have ridden 8 hour 200K brevets in hilly terrain on only water. I also rode 453 Km in 15 hours on 1 banana and two gels, clearly not optimal but I had no food except my own body fat. I lost 5 pounds of fat in 1230 km over 2 days. Let's see if that math adds up for your friend.

Because he picked a fight with me by claiming my posts were implausible. I don't know about you, but I really don't care for implications that I'm somehow lying. Also, I find the subject interesting, and it's been interesting reading other people's take on why he's wrong..

I think 300 miles in 24 hours is rare. I also think that the people attracted to this thread are going to be people who do rare things, you perhaps more than anyone else on this thread. I don't think I could tolerate that just for lack of sleep, so I'm damn impressed by people who can. If I recall, I mentioned that because I thought the OP should start a thread in the endurance forum. Also, keep in mind OP mentioned the T2 diabetes, so that may be a complicating factor that other endurance riders have coped with over such long rides.
