DOn't get me wreong, i am impressed you can do it at all, as I couldn't, but I am in awe of these guys today.
My average speed will end up being about 8 mph, I am guessing. I am slow and plodding. You could pump me full of epo and I still wouldn't get up that thing in under an hour. They are amazing.

Here is what it looks like.
