I am closing in on 30 certified Bun Burner Golds ( 1500+ miles in less than 24 hours ) as I now have a total of 27 including the multi BBG rides I have completed. I would like to get the 30 done by the end of this year so I am going to attempt another this weekend heading out around 12 midnight...

You have already gotten great advice from many here so my advise will just to be second some of what has already been said. Plan a "easy" route, all interstate even an out and back route is good. Know the route and road as much as you can. Visit the states DOT traffic and construction websites...

Tony, That is how I have approached all of my big IBA rides, fight all of the battles possible in your mind BEFORE the ride, be very prepared and then the ride does become easier with less stress. Of course you can not know what you don't know but you can limit the surprises which makes you...

Tony, congrats on your ride! I am sure it was hard and fun all at the same time. Good to see your tire hold out, it should give you some confidence in it for next year.

Well my Poison rally did not go as planned, 5 hours into the rally I had a helmet malfunction on my Nolan N104. The button that operates the latch mechanism on the flip up part of the helmet broke off and I could not open the helmet. Not being able to open the helmet also meant I could not take...

Thanks Tony. I am not sure about Pinks yet. Thanks Justin. See you soon. It was cold here this morning bring some heated gear.

I just landed in Ely finishing a new IBA ride, BBG Quattro Gold ( 4 BBG's ). Wow, what a ride. More tomorrow got to get a shower, eat real food and go to the Hotel Nevada casino for some fun.

Ok, looks like I could not talk my self out of this ride ( a 3 day visit to Las Vegas instead does sound nice ) so I will be starting at 2:00 AM EDT this Saturday, June 14, 2014. Tim has posted his blog page which will have my SPOT tracking map and Tim will also be posting updates and some...

I riding in the Poison rally and since I live 2800+ miles from Ely I thought it would be a good idea to use the ride to Ely for a ride I have been working on for over a year. I decided to attempt another BBG Trifecta+. I have already certified 2 BBG Trifecta's and I have certified a total 21...

I have a new rear tire being shipped to the host hotel and will just need to get it mounted somewhere. I still have not found a LARGE bone, at least that I can show everyone. I have been to a couple local grocery stores but they no longer get meat the same way. I am headed to a butcher shop...

Ok, thanks. I am still trying to get everything in order. My wife coming out makes it a little harder to get all of the planning done. Now she wants to go west instead of north and she is flying into Reno.

I just spoke to the 4-7's hotel to ask about having tires shipped to the hotel and they said that would be fine. So I am ordering to be shipped there with free shipping. I am going to bring Dyna Beads and my tire irons in case I can not find a place to mount the tires. I am arriving late on...

It sounds like a great offer but I am going to be on the clock on my way to Ely.

Thanks everyone. I am going to call the shop in Elko tomorrow and see what they can do.

So I guess I am going to ship tires out to Ely as I can get them shipped direct for free and save $200+ on tires and I will need to find a way to mount them there. I am arriving early, June 17, so I will have time to get them mounted. I may even bring my spoons and do it myself. My biggest issue...

Congrats to all of the rides and Doug for putting on a fine event. It's nice to see that there is still some places to put on some miles.

Tony, I am not riding "straight" to Ely and as it is it is a 2800+ mile ride if I did ride straight there. I will need tires when I get there. I guess I may need to send already mounted tires but I wish I could find something there as the tires I will be on will be pretty used up. To bad no...

What is everyone else doing to be sure they have fresh tires at the start. I guess I am going to ship tires out and would like to find a place to change them if not maybe I will ship wheels with tires already mounted. I have 2 rear wheels but not a front one so I will need to borrow one or...

I will check them out, thanks.

It will be good to see you also.
