Did anyone do the Moonshine Lunch SS1000 last year? What day and time did you leave? I'd like to try it this year, but I wanted to minimize my nightime riding. That might be difficult if you need to be done by 5:00pm.

 

[qkslver]

There will be a SS1000 again in 2013. It will be announced on the web site which should be around the first part of Jan.

Working on routes now.

Last year I rode from Chicago to Council Bluffs to Casey for a burger. I had a great time, got my Ironbutt under my belt, met some great people and went on riding in the South Indiana, Kentucky hills for the rest of the weekend until it was time to go home to Chicago. I'd recommend it to all!!

This years Moonshine RTE registration is now open. https://moonshine-run.com/Moonshine/Default.asp

Terry Hammond, the founder of the RTE, always wondered why no one turned in an IBA ride on the way to
Casey, Illinois when attending the event.
Terry passed away in Nov. 2010.
Last year Curt Gran instituted the first Moonshine Lunch Run SaddleSore 1000 (MLRSS1K)
To honor Curt for his contribution and effort in setting this ride up, we are announcing this years ride as,

Moonshine Curt Gran Memorial SS1000 https://sites.google.com/site/mlrss1k/home

This would will be the easiest SS you have ever done! Paper work is very minimal:

No witness needed.
Date, time, mileage, location receipt
Mid point receipt
Finish in Casey, Il.
Check-in at the Days Inn
Receive your Certificate.

As a bonus, you get to eat the best hamburger anywhere with a thousand other people!

Rick, you're gonna make me ride another 1000 miles for that burger arn't ya.

I'm looking for a starting point, don't want to do the Casey to Canton, MS to Casey again.

Now iffin you was a nice person you would give me a route that started at the Mobil station off the 102 exit in Morton like we did for the Illinois in state.

This is gonna be a good one.

 

[Scooper]

I am really thinking of doing this ride just have to choose the route. Casey and back or Louisville to Casey. Would end up being about 1300 miles one way or the other. I may even stretch it out and turn in for a 1500 mile cetificate.

[McFly]

I'm going! Hope to see a bunch of you FJR Pilots there! I'll be glad handing this year! This will be my 3rd! Hope it's better than last year...the weather blew in and caused a fuss! I'm going every year. At least that's the plan!

Ride safe!

 

[TripperMike]

I was hoping to make it this year. But who knows, maybe if the weather looks good that weekend, perhaps I might just drop by for the burger w/o the SS cert.
