That is a really cool story. I bet with a little more attention to aerodynamics and rolling friction he could have gotten to 165 or even more.
I just wonder about the safety of riding for basically 24 hours straight. I've driven 18-20 hours in one stretch, and I have flown for a travel time of well over 30 hours. Both situations by the end I am a zombie. Given the concentration and small margin for error riding a bike it seems very (unneccesarily) dangerous.
Maybe it is like mountain climbing, pushing yourself even though there must be greater risk of personal injury.
