Iron Butt Association

[mvk24_imp]

Hey mvk24, did you ever set about for the SS1000? I'm actively planning my route and knowing this forum is a wealth of information, I thought I'd check in first before solifiying any plans.

MTC-do you have your route available for me to borrow? The "Lake Michigan Circle Tour" sounds like the best idea as I like the 'loop' version of getting back home to sleep in my own bed. Don't mind taking a night off in a hotel, but the urgency of getting back home might be a better motivator to get my 1k miles in 24hrs. Plus the wife prefers that option too haha

Hope you two are well regardless.

Peace and Axle Grease,
Dave

Hey Dave, unfortunately I'm recovering from some injuries that have kept me from riding this whole season. Hopefully I will be able to to accomplish the task next season.

My goal is to ride cross country as a reward for recovering and I will set up the Iron Butt for part of that trip.

One of my touring buddies attempted it from NY to Chicago on a Victory Octane while I was away. He made it to 970 before he said his arms just would not stop falling asleep on him and he stopped to camp for safety reasons.

Please keep me updated on how your task/planning is going.
