[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1143604, member: 18625"] I arrived back early (2 am) this morning. I am at work now and accessing the weekend rides and activities. Funny thing on the return ride; I had planned on scattering 3 or so rests during the ride and do a Bun Burner (36 hours) It started really rough. The start receipt, the weather... Plus I left out after a full day of activities. My plan was to ride to MY rest stop on I-57s and sleep for awhile then pick away at the ride. I battled my way through intermittent rain and COLD windy conditions. By the time I got to my rest stop, I was pretty trashed. A BEE infestation at MY rest stop found me resting on the ground in the parking lot next to my bike. About an hour and a half of rest and I was on my way again. ETA was 26 minutes past a BBG arrival with no stops... No problem, I wasn't riding a BBG. With the need to keep the bike running, the fuel stops were a quick gas'n go. The ride went ok until I hit Atlanta at rush hour in a down pour. Next thing I knew- I was in Jacksonville with 4 hours left and my arrival time at 2 minutes past BBG. To make a long story short, I finished 16 minutes early and got a second BBG for the weekend. [/QUOTE]
