I wish him well on his journey...
In Zürich there is a rumor that Grizzly’s team has codenamed this effort “the Jules Verne project,” and he is, in fact, hoping to do it in 80 days. Feel free to guess how I would manage to pick up that rumor amid a throng of German speakers.
Regardless of whether he makes it around the world in 80 or 100 days, though, his record (assuming he sets it) will be hard to beat.
“How many miles a day do you think you’ll be travelling?” I ask.
“It depends on terrain, but 800 to 2,000,” he says.
“You mean kilometers?” I ask. “800 to 2,000 kilometers?”
“No. Miles.”
“Yikes! That’s, like, an Iron Butt ride every day.”
“Ha. Maybe they will give me a badge.”
