i could do this in a year of training but i have to get on a stair climber machine and be able set it to 5 and tread for 30 hours taking a short break every two hours before ei even looked at the bike.
the bike would have to be a great machine
with a 4 gear football on the front and 7 caliper disk on the back.
i have to stop drinking quit all smoking any other form of recreation. and i indulge in and just get it into my head that that was it that was what i am gonna do and train.
on the road it would be a do this or die trying attitude.
this man i dont believe could ever get his head together enough but it should be interesting.

the trick about this bet isn't so much the distance or even time, it's really the terrain. more likely he could cover that distance in that time, but inclement weather/the elements, traffic etc are issues. Would love to see them post up a follow car with a GoPro set up to watch this thing start to finish.
Sidenote, you see now that the Bill Perkins guy is trying to get Lance Armstrong to try the same bet in under 15 hours? (https://www.barstoolsports.com/dmv/i-hope-lance-armstrong-takes-the-plunge-and-becomes-a-big-time-degenerate/)

Actually Armstrong is a ridgeling. And the doping doesn't make one a better rider. It's the superior training a person can do because of the peds. So without prior work, and a lot of it, it would still take a very talented amateur or better to get this dont.

i was showing how to goad armstrong into a bet. but don't get me wrong he is the best cyclist ever and ben Johnsons record for the 100 m will stand in history as the best *

I stand by my original thought, no way, no effin' way this guy makes it. If he was coming the other way......... Maybe.....
I live in So. Cal., my parents live in Vegas. I make this trek multiple times a year. This ain't no joke...... It's all uphill, and I don't care what time of year you do this - It's gonna be desert hot, or nighttime desert blowing, and cold......
But not uphill....... No conditioning, "some" training, This guy is a drinking, smoking, carousing, playboy, no way......
{In case you think the wager is easy (48 hours is a lot of time), consider that Bilzerian has had several heart attacks}
No effin' way he makes the time limit.....
NO.... EFFIN'..... WAY......
Can I bet against him? Seems like a sure winner......

No way this guy completes it in 48 hours, I don't care if you're the greatest cyclist in the history of cycling....
Any of the Tour de France cyclists could do this without breaking a sweat. They do about 125 miles in 5.5 hours, and that is with serious mountain climbs. They do have a pack of riders for wind resistance, but nothing in this bet says he can't have it for this ride.
The distance record for 24 hours is 556 miles, but that is on a flat course.

He can't use I-15 as it's an interstate highway and bicycles are not allowed on interstate highways. He would have to use an alternate route which would add significantly more miles onto the trip.
He could use that route if he used a mountain bike and stayed off the pavement but rode along the side of the road. Someone would have to be an experienced mountain biker and be in very good shape to handle that rough terrain. In that case Nevada Highway Patrol and California Highway Patrol would have no jurisdiction as he wouldn't be on the interstate road. As was previously mentioned, wherever there's a steep grade, he could just get off the bike and walk it which would save a lot of his strength.

This is NOT true. I always believed this until I moved out west. Some states out here allow bikes on the interstates

He's only had one heart attack...but that's bad enough.

Feature in the NY Post. What Bilzerian wil do with the money if he wins:
Bilzerian says he plans to spend around $125,000 on equipment, chase vans and support staff including bike techs, a doctor, two chefs, trainer, masseuse and an assistant. Win or lose, he’ll give $25,000 to Armstrong’s child-cancer charity, and if he’s victorious, he’ll use $350,000 to cover a recent poker loss.
Lol, a true degen...

yea the NY Post is doing full coverage of this it looks like until the bet/race is actually concluded.
I still say these guys need to get a few GoPros and some mobile wifi connection and livestream this - start letting people buy grids of the route where he will crap out. hugely entertaining and probably net them much more than the actual bet on page views and sponsorships alone.

Mark me down for the outlet center in Barstow, because after that he's looking at a loooong uphill climb, like 15 miles or so, until he gets some relief at the 15/40 split. I'm saying he stops at the Starbucks, gets off his bike and says, "F@ck it, I'm done".....
