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 - wisil.recu-wisil.recu-Open ↗ mbents.com/wisil/whpsc2002/resultssaturday.htm
