Howdy all, Long Ranger here- I'm about at the midpoint of my newest bikepacking/peak bagging tour, this time for the highest 100 peaks of Colorado! I'd love it if you could follow along, there is currently no self powered, self supported record for this (I'm using rules very much inspired by the TD) but Rob Barlow has a supported record of 71 days. I'm hoping to do it in 60. Here are the details: http://highesthundred.com Long may you range! |

This is some long ranging, indeed. Hard for me to comprehend what Justin is doing out there, day after day.
It's taking the Tour 14er to the next level and beyond. I'm watching this with great interest.
Bravo Long Ranger, Bravo!

Looks like Justin will finish right at 60 days - just Evans/Bierstadt and Longs/Meeker (plus 150 miles of riding, mostly on the Peak-to-Peak) to go. What an amazing journey!

Egads, he did it!
Much respect, Long Ranger. Still can't fathom what it takes to contemplate attempting this, let alone complete it.

Nicely done, Justin. I too can't quite imagine executing this, nor pushing so hard for so long.

Congrats Justin. Next level.
Wish more people would get creative and truly push themselves as you've done, but taking selfies on the TD while updating FB, if they leave the house at all, seems to be what the masses are geared toward.

It is better to regret the things you've done than the things you haven't.

Hey everyone! I did a presentation about this tour a couple of weeks ago, and we managed to film it, then throw it up online. If you're looking for some inspiration, perhaps this will give you that fix:
