Dan Bilzerian's very own containment thread. All things Bilzerian go here - Page 102 - Poker News

I drive from San Diego to Vegas (and back) several times every year during WSOP. The L.A. traffic joins in at about where the I-15 intersects I-10. From that point forward to Vegas, there are massive mountain climbs, miles and miles of fairly steep grade long hill climbs. If part of the bet is you can't get off your bike and walk at any point, I think it will be tough sledding for all but a seasoned professional cyclist.

I think there is more variables than just distance....some or most highways in CA do not allow bicycle's, this would be a huge disadvantage, also if DB is not a bike rider, after 4-5 hours on a bike his ass will be unreal sore, making a finish even more unlikely

"Just bet @DanBilzerian he can't bike from his house to the past Vegas sign in 48 hrs her has until March 31st to start"

There are lots of Vegas signs between LA and Vegas

If you can't get off your bike, the bet is over at the first traffic light..

He won't be raising his heart rate very high at all riding a bike over a long distance.

This would be really easy for anyone even mildly fit.

I ran a marathon with zero training in a reasonable time.

11K feet up and 9k down

The last big incline starting at Baker is a doozy.

That's a great map of the ride.

Poker players talking about anything health/fitness related is funny on here. I'll take action that Dan fails if anyone interested.

is he allowed to juice? Lance Armstrong used EPO, testostherone and other PED´s.

Bicycles are NOT allowed on freeways - when he remembers jumping in his car and getting to Vegas in 4 hours, it is over a road system designed for 80 mph speeds. Local city and county roads are not nearly so friendly.

Doable for a serious amateur biker...for someone who couldn't even hit the pool with a skinny horizontal worker...no chance

He's already on the juice TRT or whatever most of these instagram clowns are. I don't understand the people saying this is a cake walk I assume in order to make the deadline he will be riding at least 35+ hours straight with no sleep. Also I assume perkins or one of his goons will be following dan the whole time making sure he doesn't hitch a ride or something.

I use to not like perkins I though he was a ultra dweeb but I do like how he purchases souls for his entertainment. Esfandiari lunging around like the ultimate d-bag was priceless with his awful knee shaking form lol.

I don't think he can do it with only 6 weeks of training.

I feel like with steroids and time to train it should be doable.

Most untrained people would have trouble getting on their bike on the second day, but 6 weeks is plenty time to prepare.

Bill Perkins has a huge edge here.

Have you even ridden a centruy before?
