The idea for The Impossible Ride: Riding coast-to-coast in two days, came to me a few days after breaking the 24-hour motor paced world record; the equivalent of one-half the distance from California to Florida. I have always believed that The Impossible Ride would be the event in which I could inspire the most people to follow their dreams.

Now, The Impossible Ride has taken on a specific goal: to inspire people to become more physically active--and help reverse the trend of obesity in America. I hope you will be inspired by this ride.
