So, you're going for the BBGold?

I had planned on doing a combo SS/BB last week but, other things ended up taking priority. Hopefully, I'll get it in this year before too long.

Did you do a 500 mile turnaround or did you have a destination? I'm planning on visiting some friends in FL. and coming back. It will put me a bit over 1500 miles round trip.

That's a pretty good loop! What was your final time? Did you sleep any or just ride through? I'll check back in tomorrow. Bedtime now. Can't wait to see how G-rex's trip goes! I had a friend in last year's IB rally. I think he came in 25th or 29th maybe. I doubt I would ever be up for the rally. Too much for me now. 20 years ago maybe but, not now!

I may try for soemthing this summer, maybe do a loop up north into maine then back home. I can run 95 up there then over to 89/91 to get home.

I'll be sure to post up the Spot link.

I can't speak for Trip, but I usually do 1000 miles in a day with plenty of time to spare. I can do 1000 in 14 hours. I've had several friends who want to do a Saddlesore ride that have asked me to go along just to lead to set the pace. LOL. No problem!
