This is really going to spike the unsafe surface folks. They claim the new playing surfaces are causing the injuries.

It's not so bad, so long as you don't plan on running anymore

Most I've done on a bike was 700 give or take not many miles (on the odometer), took almost 10 hours, including one food stop and a few gas stops - over 90 the gas mileage dropped several mpg. Only time on a bike I've seen triple digits for several miles, have only done that in northern Nevada and northern Arizona, on nearly deserted two lane roads with almost nothing man made between fill ups. I didn't pass gas stations. Either one of them...

That was my first thought, why would the guy go to all that trouble and then just off himself when he got there. Late working employee with a sidearm? If so, they did everyone a favor.
