It's extremely rare for me to sustain such a speed for more than a few seconds.

Agreed - how many people need to run "errands" (the 4 bags of groceries requirement) traveling 70 MPH? Only time most of us are running that fast is on the Interstate, when we have to because of traffic flow.
Did he really require them to go that fast on the roads where they ran the "Challenge"? That seems unsafe. Makes it more of a race...
I ran the backroads on my cycle last weekend and don't think I ever hit 70.
I appreciate Vetter's contributions to the motorcycle world - then and now - but some of the rules just don't make sense to me.
