@Grizzly to start his round the world record attempt from #Daytona #Bike Week


'Grizzly' – the Swiss endurance biker – has announced he will be starting his round the world record attempt from the famous Daytona Bike Week in the USA.
February 15 2015, Medina MN: Grizzly (real name Urs Pedraita) plans to roll out of Daytona's packed and bustling main street at 1pm on Friday 11th of March 2016.
True to his name, Grizzly has been bear-like in his preparations to ride a Victory Cross Country around the world through all six continents in under 100 days (the record currently stands at 120 days). His aim is to ride with a continuous speed with as few stops as possible and he even plans to put the wheels on the ground in Antarctica.
Over the past year Grizzly has put himself through challenging acclimatisation rides in sub-zero temperatures and he says he is now ready to flex some 'Modern American Muscle' on board his Victory Cross Country. While this powerful bagger might be more used to cruising on paved highways, Grizzly shows that this kind of bike can be ridden everywhere – even on ice, snow, sand, mud and gravel.
Additional items on his Victory Cross Country include navigation systems, a 33-litre fuel tank, a customised seat with back support and two LED headlights added on the front for better visibility during his long night rides.
This won’t be Grizzly’s first big ride on a Victory Cross Country – in 2013, he completed a 9,000 mile trip in just 37 days – during the winter.
After leaving Daytona in March, Grizzly's route can be seen in the attached imagery to this release.
