Arvid’s been on the road for a full 24 hours now. When he’s on a ride I usually go to bed thinking, “He’s still biking.” And wake up thinking, “He’s still biking.” Look back to the roadside crew’s posts for the night’s details, but I’ll give you the 24-hour stats:
24 Hours: 538 km
Total: 538 km
Average: 538 km
Buffer: 96 km (ahead)
Take note, the buffer is calculated on an average of 442km per 24-hour period. This is exactly how many KM he will need to complete in order to match the record. We fully expect Arvid to build a buffer at the beginning and attempt to sustain it for the duration of the ride. Notably, the current record holder would certainly have done more than 442km for the first days as well. We don’t know those splits – all we can do is take an average from his total distance and total time.
