On a whim, i decided to try the SaddleSore Iron Butt run which is 1000 miles in 24 hours and sanctioned by the Iron Butt Association. SaddleSore 1000/Bun Burner 1500 Rules
Left Ironton, OH July 3rd at 4:37 in the morning and arrived just west of Milwaukee, WI to meet Kevin (LURCH). I arrived back to Gallipolis, OH July 4th at 4:03 in the morning.
My observations: I only had 7 hours sleep the previous 2 days to departure cuz i was just so dang excited! BAD!! Rode the last 10 hours very fatigued and tired.
Traffic thru Chicago and Milwaukee on I-94 is brutal on a holiday weekend. Took me 3 hours to travel 60 miles!
Accidents can close a highway and strand you for an hour of more in the hot sun!
The Busa is a comfortable bike to ride all day...uhm and all night!
We need more gas stations less than 35 miles away that stay open 24 hours.
Very little pics, but here are a few:
Lurch and I at Carribou Coffee across from the Zoo where Kevin was doing something...I don't know, maybe helping with the Giraffe!
Chcago skyline from under a viaduct on the highway.
Chicago Style baby!!!
End of ride.
