Final Tally
The (not so) great bike trip of 2005 lasted only about 275 miles, new research has revealed. Previous estimates ranged from 300 to 400 miles, but the new data shows that these were clearly too high. The new research used the program Microsoft Streets and Trips to reconstruct the trip as well as could be remembered by lead researcher Ryan McElroy. Route cross-checking will be conducted with other trip particpants before the milage nubmer is made official. This tally also does not include day trips taken by only one cyclist.
