""I asked my mom what she wanted for her 65th birthday," he said in a September 10 Facebook post. "She said it's always been on her bucket list to ride a century. I told her I'm free on Tuesday." Continuing his post, Pastrana explained that his mother is a public school teacher in Baltimore who never takes a day off. Apparently, when she does, she rides 100 miles!"
"Apparently, when she does, she rides 100 miles! The pair rode their 100.3-mile route in 7:12:06, climbing and descending nearly 2,600 feet. The 41-year-old is most known for his contributions to freestyle motocross (FMX). He was the first to land a double backflip on a dirtbike, doing so at the 2006 X Games. This, along with multiple wins and medals, cemented him in X Games and motocross history."
Travis Pastrana rode a 100.3-mile century with his 65-year-old mother, who pedaled every mile alongside him, finishing in 7:12:06 while climbing and descending nearly 2,600 feet. His mother teaches in Baltimore, rarely takes days off, and had long wanted to complete a century. Pastrana, 41, is an extreme-sports athlete known for freestyle motocross achievements, including landing the first double backflip at the 2006 X Games, and for competing in rally and NASCAR racing. Pastrana founded Nitro Circus and described the ride as a relaxed, meaningful day to talk, see sights, and check her bucket list item.
