No.

Henry Ford invented everything.

So we were told when Ford bought Jaguar.

I have certainly encountered USAnians who believe, without a hint of irony, that Henry Ford invented the motorcar.

Well they're sadly deluded, but he certainly invented the production line.

There's a comment on Facebook that he might want to take his time getting back to AK. 

Is that likely to relate to weather or something?

Everything that was worth inventing was invented by a R1b haplotype with one particular gene in the HAR switched on.

Except the wheel. That was granted to mankind by a Sumarian god called Ningis******.

I can't speak for Kurt but given the option in his situation I would avoid those sorts of temperatures certainly after riding around Florida for a couple of months.

Perhaps he should head for Oregon.

I did a bit of a double take at that... and then remembered the temps are Fahrenheit. So not actually that warm after all, but it's all relative.

Tarzan said he was doing a 12 Hr TT for the HAM'R day later this month so where is that?
FB comment does state  "Beginning the trip back toward to Arkansas", look forward to seeing where he goes.

I make it that he is now over 770 miles ahead of TG on days elapsed  :o

The only 12hr on the UMCA calendar is the Bessies Creek on 9th April. HAM'r day is 11th. This event is in southern Texas just outside Houston.

About 3.75 days, or just over 1%  at Godwin pace.

It's a lot on it's own but it's not in the context of the year if Steve can up his daily mileage, as per his schedule, in March. 
He's not done it in the first few days, but he seems to be on a roll today. 
This is where it gets (more) interesting!
