[rustyski_imp]

100 miles at a time. 10 stops, plus 3 'corner stops'. Gas-Stretch-Hydrate-Eat at each gas stop. My partner thinks it will be 20 hours. I'm going with 18:30.

Y'all can track our progress starting at about 3:30 (Central Time) Tuesday morning at Matt's Two-Wheeled Life No point in checking there until I'm on the ride, though, as there's nothing there to see at this point.

I'll be checking on you about 7 am eastern time lol. Good luck Matt, ride safe

for those of you interested in our route, you can see it here:

Part 1
Google Maps


Part 2
Google Maps

The combination of the Google Maps and My Spot Shared Page (see my previous post) would allow any Michigan or Wisconsin CB1100 riders to meet us at one of our stopping points. LOL Feel free to do so, it would be great to see you!

And he's away ... :biker:

 

[the Ferret]

Looks like he is making good progress.

 

[Django]

Goes like a Swiss watch.

 

[the Ferret]

Looks like he is on M28 headed across the UP. (I love riding up there..it's like another country)

 

[the Ferret]

On the home stretch, looks like he just above Green Bay. Just over 200 mi from Green Bay to Chicago.

 

[Ole]

he's got this
less than 4 hours to go
Ferret beat me to it

 

[Cormanus]

Stressful. That's what it is. Sitting here in Australia watching the blip.

Less than 200 miles left.

 

[the Ferret]

Dig deep Matt! You got this.
Down to Fon du lac.... 150 miles to go

 

[Cormanus]

Down to about 3 miles and charging home. Bravo Empty Sea.
Looks like you made it home around midnight EmptySea. Congratulations on a great ride. Look forward to hearing about it when you've had some sleep.

 

[emptysea]

11:57. Just hope I calculated the mileage correctly. I'll check that in the morning. Thanks for the support and the bike performed flawlessly.

It's Beddy-byes for me now.

 

[the Ferret]

Awesome brother, congratulations.yep, can't wait to hear your thoughts.

 

[LongRanger_imp]

Great job Matt, and congratulations on your accomplishment! Can't wait to hear the details!

 

[the Ferret]

Think Sea is still asleep?

 

[Cormanus]

Probably still wandering around with his arms out in front of him, like he's holding the handlebars, saying "Vrooom, vrooom." It'll take him a while to come down.
