That's more than 500km on two wheels - a brutal stretch for a man who says he hasn't ridden a bike in 18 years.
But when you're Dan Bilzerian there's always someone ridiculously famous willing to give you a hand.
After inheriting great personal wealth from his father - a successful corporate raider on Wall Street - Bilzerian has been living the dream.
He's earnt a reputation as the King of Instagram by posting images of himself - most often with guns and scantily-clad women - to an audience of more than 16 million followers.
He's also very well-connected.
Bilzerian woke a few weeks back to a message from popular UFC commentator Joe Rogan alerting him to the fact none other than Lance Armstrong was happy to give him some one-on-one training ahead of his ride.
The disgraced drug cheat can do with any good publicity he can get these days, so teaming up with Bilzerian must have seemed like a good idea.
Bilzerian was more than willing to accept the hand. He'll face steep climbs and desert conditions en route from California to Nevada, which he must tackle before the end of March, according to the rules of the bet.
Despite the challenge, Bilzerian's overall fitness has seen bookmaker Ladbrokes open him as a $1.75 favourite to win.
