What does it take to go the distance?

Imagine riding the STP. Three times in a row. With four times as many hills. During the same two-day time frame.

Sound crazy? Well, they just might be.

Mark Thomas with some randonneuring mates during the 2007 Paris-Brest-Paris.

Brian Ecker on the podium at the 2010 Furnace Creek 508.

This pantheon of four local "ultra-distance" cyclists includes some of the strongest in North America. They'll be at REI on Tuesday to share insight into what it takes to ride far, pedal fast and finish strong.

Come to make STP look like a walk in the park. Come to get your training tips from the masters. Or come to find out what they eat for breakfast.

(I'm guessing oatmeal. Lots of it.)

Hope to see you there!
