Well, it has been awhile since I have written anything on the blog, so I figured I'd say a little something about some of the big rides I have coming up this year. One is a little bit of a mystery ride, one is to the middle of no-where, and the other is to be with friends from all over the eastern half of the United States.
My first big ride is called the Legends Saddle Sore 1000. This ride is put on by the Iron Butt Association. It entails riding 1000 miles, starting in Jacksonville, FL on March 4 and it must all completed within 24 hours time. My buddies Mike, Jim and David will be riding with me or at least doing the same ride. There is a banquet on March 5 to get completion awards. I've done one of these rides already but this is different because it is all in state and there will be IBR legends at different checkpoints throughout the day.
The second big ride will to Moonshine, IL for a Moonburger in April. This will be 950 miles up, a couple days of riding in IL then back again. The Moonshine Rally is a gathering of about 600 people just to eat a hamburger in a town that has a population of 2.
The third big ride will be in June to Staunton, VA for the KawaNOW South Eastern Regional Rally. We will be rolling out of FL on a Saturday morning and will spend 9 days on the road, with stops in GA, SC, NC, TN, VA and WV. Probably going to be visiting Monticello, President Jackson's home and riding both Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Will probably throw in a couple other shorter rides in there too but these are the ones that require some planning.
