Unfortunately I average only 1000 miles a year. I haven't ridden as many miles in 17 years as you've done in less than 2 months. WOW!! Now that's some serious riding, and for a great cause. Fantastic job of setting a goal and reaching and surpassing it.

We did see Nick on trail 3 this past Tuesday. We had a dead sled and plenty of time to watch the sleds.

Nick, I can not believe you are doing that riding alone. You must put in some late days?

Keep up the great effort for the cause.

As of yesterday evening (Day: 58) I have a total of 18,854 miles on my sled. This morning (Day: 59) I am taking the ride back down to Richmond, MN from Ironwood, MI. I am hoping for about 300 + miles for the day. We will have to see how the trails are along the way. For my final day of the snowmobile journey on Tuesday, February 23rd, I will be riding around Minnesota putting on the last miles for the record books. If anyone would like to come join in on the celebration, we are meeting at the Richmond River Station around 4:30pm Tuesday 23rd! Thank you everyone for all your support. I will report back after my final mile totals are complete. Or if you want to check it out directly from my website at www.snowballcancer.org.

Sorry to hear your track tore up,....hope you were able to get back on the trail. Was it the original track, if not how many miles did it have on it? I would be interested in a list of replaced items through your incredible 60 days. Thanks for your dedication.

Well, I finally finished my 60 day Longest Snowmobile Journey world record attempt for Snowball Cancer Challenge run. I finished with 19,506 miles! I was overwhelmed with the homecoming welcome that I received. Thank you everyone for all your support. I have to say that the 2010 RS Vector GT ran as great on day 60 as it was on day 1. It is the greatest machine I have ever ridden in 38 years of sledding. The sleds handling and ride is simply amazing.

Well, now that it is about 8 days after my world record attempt - I am finally feeling more rested and coming out of the exhaustion. It has taken a little time to re-bound back, but it is slowly coming. I am continuing to book radio, newspaper, and magazine interviews along with booking club meetings as well. I want people to keep remembering the Keller Family Community Foundation and why I wanted to do the 60 day world record attempt in the first place…to help people with cancer. As the board is just starting out and going to be meeting again soon, we are hoping for anyone with ideas or suggestions on other events/fundraisers to please email our foundation at snowballcancer@gmail.com. We are also open for ideas on how we could include other snowmobile clubs from all different states into a fundraising event as well. We want to keep the snowmobiling concept ‘helping people’ going. We want to keep KFCF alive and on people’s minds. Thanks in advance for all of your support and suggestions!
