I love long days in the saddle, but have never done a 1000 mile day. Pretty sure even at my advanced age I could do that. My wife and I together two up, did a 942 mile day back in 1977 coming home non stop from Florida. But I always thought an Iron Butt consisting of 11 thousand mile days in a row was just absurd. 45 of those thousand mile days in a row is a word I can't even think of. Doesn't seem it would be possible without utter, dangerous exhaustion somewhere along the way. Some men are made of pure grit and determination.
