Congratulations to David Meridith for setting the Ohio West to East record in the Grand Master (60-69) Standard category.

Wisconsin E-W – Peter Brendan – June 17, 2018

Records Team2020-03-03T04:53:38-08:00

The record attempt I, Peter Brendan, went for was Wisconsin from E - W. I started at 4:50 AM on June 16th 2018 at the bridge on the WI/MI state line on US 41 over the Menominee River at Marinette, WI. It was slightly damp and was twilight. Marinette was very sleepy as I started my attempt, except for a few sprinklers not much was happening. It was extremely quiet and within 15 minutes I was already seeing Wisconsin farms. I was riding a 2016 Trek Emonda S5. I put on aero bars for this attempt and was using 25s [...]
