[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 279461, member: 4"] The orthopedic surgeon does not want to operate. He claims the likelihood of significant improvement after this procedure for men in my age group is poor, at best. So.... if we weren't going to operate, then I needed to make a decision to go now, right now (while there are still some relatively long daylight hours, although we are past the Summer Solstice), or whether I wait another year. Didn't want to wait. So I left for my "base camp" at Fernley , Nevada on Friday, July 13th. "Day 1" was the next day, Saturday, July 14th. B) Some time ago, the Guinness folks stopped certifying any event that involves a time/distance record on public roads. Liability concerns, etc. Which is fine, really. The main motivation behind doing this is that so many, many people (most being within the LD community) said it couldn't be done. IIRC, the current record for consecutive BBG's is three..... I thought I would double that, and then set the bar just a bit higher, so I did Day 7. Mind you, I'll be the first in line to shake the person's hand who legitimately rides 8 consecutive BBGs. Assuming it happens in my lifetime..... ;) [/QUOTE]
