W/R I enjoyed your post. Concise and yet filled with interesting references. I believe that you will have no problem with the trip to Berea. Just break it up in to small segments and if you get there on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, so be it. I know a guy who took passed his MSF class on a Sunday and by the following Tuesday was on a bike on a 2000 mile trip from Chicago to Denver and back. His theory was that there was no better way to learn about riding than by riding. Not sure if I agree with how he went about it and I now that's not the same as coming back from an injury, but if he could take off like that, with no experience at all, I think you should have no problem getting to Berea.
Update on Resolution #2 - I am pretty sure that my 2018 Saddle Sore 1000 will be from Chicago to Mason, TN to get us sum Bar-B-Q for lunch from Bozo's Hot Pit (thanks to memphismike for the recommendation) -- maybe taking some to-go, too. Once again, it looks like it will be my brother-in-law and I making the out-and-back trip, 1000 mile trip. I think this should be an easier trip than last year's Lake Michigan Circle Tour, but far less scenic, so the BBQ better be worth the trip. LOL If things go according to plan, this will all happen on June 21st. Stay tuned for more details.

1. To ride at least once per month to continue my streak (currently at 46 months, but with a little luck, it'll be 47 on 1/1)
2. To earn a second Iron Butt certificate, possibly by riding from Chicago to either Colorado or Texas.
3. To attend the 2018 CB1100 rally in either Kentucky or West Virginia
4. To ride 12,000 miles (2017 yielded a tick over 10,000 miles)
5. To obtain a decent 'lanyard' camera.
6. To take more ride photos and to write more ride reports.

Funny, because I hope to ride in your area because the roads look interesting. LOL
