    Default Ironbutt run

    hello all... on 7 Jul i will be leaving Tampa for a couple weeks off... decided to use this time to knock out an ironbutt ryde... Going via I4 to I95 to I91and will end in Feeding Hills Mass.... plan is to knock out the trip in 24 hours... then a couple hours rest at brothers before heading to Maine to finish off the bumburner (1500 miles) within the required 36 hours...

    anyone wishing to join in any patt of the ryde is more than welcomed... I will post a link to follow my trip up....

    Very nice. I did my Saddlesore on the way to SpyderFest. San Diego, CA to Amarillo, TX. the thing that suprised me the most was that after 4 hours in the saddle, my body settled in for the long haul and almost all my pains went away. course I also went from near 100 degree temps in El Centro, CA, to 51 in the mountains of AZ. haha Good Luck.
    RS - 55K+ miles, F3 - 200 miles and counting.

    That's a run that matched the temperatures it was done in

    I did 1566 miles in 27.5 hours on the way to durango,co from dirt town thru mobridge, SD.

    It is not all that enjoyable but it is quite challenging which is what makes it fun.

    at the 24 hour mark I had 1389 for miles. I was slowed down for time with my buddy in mobridge,sd.

    I think if I was going to do an ironbutt I wouldn't want to do it on I95 up the east coast. You should get an extra award for going through DC and NYC.

    Barbery! Being a long time Ironbutt member, the 1000 and 1500, and the CC's are not bad, just remember to not fool around on your gas stops. Fuel up, take a leak and keep going. Drink lots of liquids, and keep granola bars, peanuts, or a quick energy snack handy. No big greasy hamburgers or meals are the order of the day. Remember, don't push yourself beyond your limits for bragging rights. Enjoy and have fun! Guzzi
