via VeloNews by Neal Rogers on 10/26/10
After three weeks spent pedaling down the west coast, through sunshine, rain and wind, Jeff Castelaz unclipped from his bike for the last time last Thursday at the Sunset Boulevard headquarters of two organizations he’s co-founded — Dangerbird Records and The Pablove Foundation.

Saturday October 23, 2010, 127 miles (204 km) – Total so far: 897 miles (1,444 km)
OCTOBER 23, 2010

As we talked to him, we learned that he was a high school sophomore and played on his high school football team. Because the schools are so small, they play football with six on a team. His total team consisted of a grand total of 12 players! He played a game last night and unfortunately lost. Because of his work ethic and desire to save money for college, he was hard at work Saturday morning…
