    Default FL to L.A.'s BRP June event

    The south route to California crossing western Texas, southern New Mexico, southern Arizona and southern California. Jacksonville to San Diego to be considered crossing the country from coast to coast in under 50 hours ("The 50cc Quest" is a trademark of the Iron Butt Association).

    Jan and I have done that route before on a 2-wheeler, pulling a cargo trailer. There are sure a lot of places where there are just miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles.

    you'll definitely have to stop in pensacola for a bit for a meet up. Probably ride with you a bit of the ways, maybe into Mississippi. (depending on when you will be coming this way)

    Other than Doc, is any other FL spyder riders going to the LA event??

    I am planning on going, not the 50cc challenge, but up to Little Rock and then I40 to LA.

    I am thinking of the 1000 mile, 24 hour, Iron Butt run from Kissimmee to Little Rock,that is if I do not have company, but I have not made up my mind yet.

    Email me, PM me, or call me 407-520-1061 if you are planning to go..

    Ok Guys and Girls...

    I have decided to leave Kissimmee durning the week of the 15th-19th of June.. If I am the only one, most likely will be leaving 18th-19th to Pearcy, AR ( 1,042 miles ) and in less than 24hrs.
    Taking Fl turnpike to I75, to Atlanta, GA, then I20 to Burmingham, AL, then 78 to Memphis, TN then I40 to Little Rock, AR, and US70 to Pearcy, AR... Sleep then.
    The above route is not set in concrete as I will entertain meeting up with other riders.
    So.... Let me Know, or I be gone without you... sorry to say..

    Good luck trying to keep up. The only reason we caught up to him was a fuel and rest stop. LOL

    Just make sure you stay fueled because there are a great deal of long deserted runs across the I-10 through Texas

    I guess I won't use that site, it is only for your ride. But now I have an idea of search parameters for the same type of thing for out route.

    I think Doc loves the open highway more than Us19. Once we hit I-4, it was a pretty quick pace to Jax.

    For Doc to do the 50cc, he must start at Jacksonvill, fl and then I10 to SD, CA.
