Catalyzer co-owner Chris John recently completed a 54-day odyssey across the northern tier of the continent, traveling 3403 miles, with just 5 rest days. “I’m fixing to be 68,” John said. “I wanted to do it before I became an old guy.” John said he pursues adventures because they are beautiful or because they are hard. “This was both,” he said. For those who have never ridden a bike 70 miles in one day, that goal alone seems daunting. The greater challenge, however, “is riding 70 miles day after day after day,” he said.
