&quot;As the present &quot;Trans Americas&quot; record holder I think I have the right to comment.&quot;

Dick of course didn't post his time for the ride - 21 days 2 hrs 8 mins.  Following the Guinness rules to the letter.  The Nobles know now, and will know better in Deadhorse, AK, what a huge accomplishement that was.  This is just giving credit where credit is due.  I suspect the record will be Dick's for some time.

All that being said, I have great respect for the Nobles and what they are trying to accomplish.  It was a pleasure to shake Sean's hand at the Crossfield ESSO.  I fervently hope he and his boys meet their fundraising goal.

And, Nobles, be careful - the Haul Road can bite you.  Or not.  All depends on the weather and maintenance activity.  Good luck.
