It Takes A Lot!

Many of you have asked what it took to get 2200 cyclists from SF to LA. Well, a lot. Here's a few stats for those who are interested:
Eggs = 44,600
Pounds of pasta = 1,200
Gallons of water = 18,800
Packets of "butt balm" = 18,000
Portable toilets = 1,055 (and I don't miss a single one of them!!)

Participant stats:
Oldest participant = 83
Youngest participant = 18
Number of states represented = 44
Number of countries represented = 16
Average calories burned daily by each participant = 3,410
Funds raised = $13 million
Volunteers = about 600

And I can't wait for next year! (Except for the porta-potties). If any of you want to ride or serve as a volunteer, I can help you get connected - except I can't get you excused from the porta-potties - sorry. I wonder if you can get PTSD from a week of porta-potties?
