First Ironbutt

[EGAlvarez_imp]

I've done several iron butt rides. 1000 miles in 24 hours is actually pretty easy if you stay hydrated and follow the recommendations in the link below. I usually set a pace of 70 mph max for 100 miles followed by a quick 10 minute bathroom, snack and stretch stop, repeat. I never eat big meals during the ride that could cause post meal drowsiness or the sudden need to make a "unexpected bathroom stop". I keep diluted sports drinks on the bike so that I can sip on them as I ride. A Scala or Sena Bluetooth system that allows you to talk to friends on the phone or listen to music REALLY helps a lot!
I'd also recommend a couple of 500-750 mile days as minor annoyances in the seat, windshield, handlebars or hips can become a major PITA after 750 miles. Get all the bike ergonomics sorted beforehand.
