I made it twice in 1980s. Or maybe trice, at least piecewise.

-- Note about "prepadness". No need for that. I started at 70km per day, but eventually made 500 km in 24h. Because good back wind and too hot for camping by the road.

It takes about two weeks to totally numbify youres backside. Thereafter rockhard professional saddle is the best.

Beat you sit-bones into submission until your pain-reporting nerves give up.. The week-and-a-half before you get there, though.. Ouch.

Quite a helmet! Cool, eclectic video. With a bit of a teleport jump between the Pecos river and NY. :-)

Sony Handycam froze. But recovered when I realized there is no hurry and I stayed some days in a warm hotel in New Jersey.
