Maria Parker’s Quest for a World Record

Well, my dear readers,

Maria Parker did it! She rode 241+ miles in 12 hours to set a World Record for a woman on a recumbent bicycle. Congratulation to Maria and her team. They were awesome today. Maria endured a fall and a change of bicycles and still persevered. You are our heroine. Maria, we are indeed proud of you and your accomplishments. The best…
It is DONE!
It is DONE!
It is DONE!
It is DONE! It is DONE! It is DONE! It is DONE!

Maria Parker’s Quest for a World Record
 

Good afternoon,

We have had some rain [on Lap #9 for Maria. It has turned to a drizzle. There are wet roads though. She still looks comfortable. Her average speed is 20.28 mph / 32.64 km/h. Maria has been on the course for over 8 hours—2/3rds done. At this point, I’m wondering what distance the prognosticators are predicting for her 12-hour ride???
Lap 6, ending
Lap 8 is done
Lap 8 is done Lap 8 is done Lap 8 is done Lap 8 is done
