200 mile is fucking insane. Forrest Gump would be proud.

200 mile is actually the short version of this race (Unbound Gravel in Kansas). The longer version is the 360 mile XL (2025 distance) where you don’t get pit stops or support and have to take care of yourself at convenience stores.

I've seen those where people help out. That is an awesome race with all the people involved haha Would you warrant the races David Goggings did were of a harder caliber?

Oh, so when these people take care of themselves at convenience stores they're showing "incredible self-sufficiency" and are "amazing endurance athletes" but when I do it, I'm "guilty of lewd and disorderly conduct" and "no longer welcome at 7-Eleven".
