Good Luck!!

Are you skipping any of the summits? Some of them are boring and might not be worth your while. Just saying.

On August 2, 2012 Ryan will be attempting to break Tim Seavers speed record for the summer NH 48.

Note that Tim Seaver only has the record for the Cave Dog version of the NH 48, Cave Dog has a faster time for the AMC version (road-to-road). Will you try to beat that too?

Note that Tim Seaver only has the record for the Cave Dog version of the NH 48...

I don't believe the word only belongs in that sentence .

Good Luck Ryan. Trimming nearly a full day off the record (if I'm reading all that right) would be quite something.

 

[JacobH]

I can only assume that it wouldn't take a day to get back to the car from Owls Head. Although, after that trip it might seem that long...

 

[Raven]

Good luck Ryan and team.

Congratulations to Tim Seaver for holding this record for so long and to Ryan for even being able to consider that blistering itinerary, whether the record is broken or not, even being able to realistically contemplate something like this is simply extraordinary to say the least.

Well said.......and have a blast doing it too Ryan!

Speaking of rules, I thought that it was clearly specified in Section 8.3c, page 21, sub-section B, that no cushy RV's were allowed and furthermore, a nursing six month old infant must be in the vehicle at all times? What about THAT?

Seriously, this is very exciting to see somebody finally taking on this crazy challenge, and Ryan certainly has been putting in the miles to make it happen.

Here's the best of luck to Ryan and his all-important crew in setting a new Wild Whites Ultramarathon (non-AMC edition) Record!
