One hardcore dude: Bill Murar

Wow, we mentioned good buddy Bill Murar’s endurance racing exploits just a few blogs down on a 150cc motorcycle circling Lake Erie, and while we were posting a blog, Bill was wrapping up a 400-mile bicycle ride.  Good Lord!

Bill Murar, on the shores of Lake Erie.

Here’s Bill’s post describing the ride…

Today I finished riding the Ohio To Erie Trail, a 326+ mile bike route from Cincinnati (Ohio river) to Cleveland (Lake Erie). It took me 6 days to complete with a couple all time bests for me. Best speed 39.11 mph, most miles in a day 88+. It was a long, grueling affair that was both terrible and wonderful. Some needed recovery time is in order before contemplating anything like this again. But it’s over and done with and another goal’s been achieved. I couldn’t have done it without my loving wife and companion, Joyce. She followed me and procured all the campgrounds we needed, where we needed them. She fed me, encouraged me, stopped and bought stuff, etc., etc., etc. I’m exhausted, beat and very satisfied.

Bill, that’s most impressive, and thanks very much for allowing us to share it with our readers!
