  1. The Human Powered Vehicle team, ALS Lightning, arrived as expected at 12:52
    this morning. The team of Bob Fourney, James Kern, Sam Whittingham, and Tim
    Woudenberg fell short of their goal to break the record set in 1989 by then
    Team Lightning including current team member, Bob Fourney. For having just
    crossed the continent in five days, seven hours, 52 minutes and on very
    little sleep, the team seemed unusually upbeat.

    "The look that people gave us when this thing went by them at 70 mph was
    totally worth it," said Fourney

    70 mph, where, how?? What people?

    Actually, one of the team's riders - Sam Whittingham - currently holds
    the HPV record at 81 MPH. That's on the flat, with no wind, and no
    drafting -
