Jim's attempt to set a new World Record for Kickbiking across the US evolved into a hybrid Kickbike/Bicycle attempt due to extreme heat and harsh conditions in Arizona and New Mexico. Still, Jim pressed on, and early this Thursday morning will dip his feet in the Atlantic near Jacksonville, Florida.
According to the Google map directions, the total journey is about 2,400 miles (3,863 km.) and would take 1 day plus 20 hours of steady driving. What that doesn't show is the additional mileage Jim had to rack up because several of the states (California and Louisiana) don't allow hpv's on the major highways. It also doesn't show the vertical climbs and descents, nor how harsh the terrain is, though you can get a rough idea by looking at the satellite maps.
