I think the walking and biking tasks are kind of reversed in terms of levels/points assigned. A person of normal/good fitness can walk 25 miles in say 8-10 hours without any advanced training. In fact, each year around here, there are various benefit walks where thousands of non-athletic people come out and walk a 20 mile route. But most people would actually need to train for a few months to manage to bike 100 miles in 10 hours.
The task says nothing about a time frame, so no.
Ok, I was wrong in that it took about 10.5 hours, including 2 20 minutes breaks, but I still think it's significantly easier to walk 25 miles than biking 100 miles.
Aw man, I'm no level 3, so I can't do it. Though that's probably best, because it'd be better to wait for someone foolish enough to join me.
and i'm high enough level to add it
there's another one we could do in the meantime if you wish
I'm in. I'm a boy scout, I admit it. I can do a 25 mile hike if I haven't got a pack. Just tell me when you do it.
someone sign up for this and save it
Maybe we could make shoes, walk in them five miles of this hike, then change to regular shoes for the next 20 miles!

Epic. In terms of the solo tasking I have done for SFØ, this weighs in as about the most epic, in my opinion. Especially because after thoroughly destroying my body on a 10-hour death march, I thought I had failed. You see, San Francisco is basica...
This was the first task I ever fell in love with. The day after I joined sf0 I saw it and knew I had to do it. I knew that even if I quickly became disenchated with sf0 and never actually played the game I would still do this "task." There...
I decided to walk 25 miles in someone else's shoes, mostly along a nice flat grade rail trail that I've bike along many time but never walked. My friend, Moussie, came along for company (because he'd never walked that far at once either and is always...
25 Hours. 25 Miles. Free Food Only. Never Let Go. We suggest you read our praxes in the order above, although for all we know it may be more fun completely in reverse. In any case, please enjoy the musical backdrop for each, chosen from among those...
Firstly, if you don't excercise regually then NEVER attempt this task. I regret completing this one, you will too. I decided to try to walk 25 miles aka. 40.2336 km from sunset to sunrise. I have to admit that I'm not the fittest person so this was...
This has easily been the most emotionally trying of any task that I have completed to date. Usually I pick a task that I find appealing and or amusing, and when I finish, there is some sense of gratification and closure. But the more I contemplated...
I have been threatening to do this task for a very long time. It has been done. Facts: I took no photos during my journey. I felt somehow that it would be against the spirit of the pilgrimage. Above all other things, I wanted to avoid being a touri...
Following on the heels of The Ørder's successful campaign launch party, it was decided that we would go on a 25 mile victory parade the following day to celebrate our electoral feats and to survey the territories of our beloved Big Onion. Foreg...
I started walking August 18th, 2006. The end goal was noble and my intentions were good. I actually completed this task back then, but not really. I knew that there was work left undone. I started over this year. There were more set-backs this time, ...
Pixie: Sir P and I are close friends. We are now much closer friends. Spending a total of about ten hours walking almost non-stop together causes ether closeness, or a desire never to see the other again. This caused the former. In good tasking sty...
Why not 100? Everyone can find a long weekend off...
