Upcoming Saddle Sore Ride

[RED]

I have had my route planned out for three years and this Saturday I am finally going for it. :yahoo:

The weather through out my route is forcasted between 65-80 degrees and mostly sunny. (Through Ohio, WVA, VA, PA and back to Central Ohio.)I will not find another Saturday with better weather.

My log book is put together, my GPS is programmed and I have put together a laundry list of small items I need to take with me.

I've been pondering over the last several days if I thought it would be a good idea to invite one of my Harley buddies along. After careful consideration, I decided to run this one on my own. I want to ride my own ride.

Ill chime back in and give an update on how I did.

Goodluck! Also, nice call on riding your own ride.

Have fun and keep us posted on the outcome.

Good luck on the ride...the only advice I can offer, when you feel tired, stop and rest for 15 or so minutes. You will have a great smile on your face when you cross that 1000 mile mark on your odometer. My guess you did the right thing going it alone. You have a mission and a friend might not have the same mission in mind.

Where in central Ohio are you finishing? I live near Columbus if you need any end witnesses.

Good luck!

When I did mine with another buddy who rode his Harley.......the only PITA was stopping every 200 Km for gas :-(

Yesterday, my trip was successful. I covered just under 1100 miles in 19 hours.

Congrats !!

congrats

I did it with a fellow FJR rider of equal skills, but then, I don't particularily enjoy riding alone

Send in your docs and enjoy the spoils of your conquest

WOO HOO

Absolutely. Thanks again for everyones support. I did well enough with this ride, I have the confidence that I could also kill the 1500 in 36.

That will be next years mission.
