Northeast’s Fastest Known Times

[bobandgeri]

Hmmm - wonder if Tim is referring to the same person we know that will be making an attempt on the near future?

When the Fitch brothers did the unsupported 48 (46 at the time) they were only 17 and 15 years old!

Andrew "Trail Dog" Thompson is one of only 16 people who have ever completed the Barkley Marathons (100 miles - over 50,000 feet of elevation gain) under the 60 hour cutoff!

Don't forget that to my knowledge nobody has tried this yet:

My 100-mile route to Mount Washington

(The actual route appears in reply #22)

I don't know if anyone has attempted it with just a bike, or multiple bikes.

If one were allowed only the support of a crew of one or more people spotting one's bike from place to place, so long as one covered all distance under her or his own power, it would be interesting to see what time one could make. It would take me a year or thereabouts.

The unsupported record for the 48 (just hiking, no bikes at all) is 10 days 14 hours by Mats Roing.

The Fitch brothers did the 46 (at the time) 4000'ers with one car and a bike to handle getting back to it in 6 days 15 hours 30 minutes.

I don't know if anyone has attempted it with just a bike, or multiple bikes.

Any chance you or 'loser' could update the first post, so we don't have to wade thru an ever lengthening list to find ever shorter times?

Looks like they had a good time! I love the camper rig they used for sag wagon. Not a spec of extra body fat on that gent!

10 days (9 days, 23 hrs, 57mins to be exact), 67/67 summits, 300 miles, and a new Fastest Known Time!! I started the final day at 7:30 a.m. with Tecumseh, then drove to VT and was heading up Mansfield at 1:20 p.m., next was Camels Hump at 5:30 p.m., then Ellen and Abraham at 9:20 p.m., and finally Killington this morning at 4:30 a.m. for sunrise. Peter and Jason joined me for the final hike, and after some quick photos on the summit we ran all the way down cause I really wanted to finish in under 10 hours. Jason's going to have to work hard to get the record back!
