Iron Butt

Yep, never lost anything in Memphis. And they can keep Elvis.

On another note: We are already in the planning phase of another one. 1561 miles from here to Las Vegas.

Tentative plans:
Day 1:
Leave at midnight. Head through Kansas on I-70 (straight shot to denver. most boring road in the world) and then cut down to vegas at denver. Arrive a little before midnight. Iron Butt complete.

Day 2:
Sleep till whenever we feel like waking up. Get an In-N-Out burger. Spend the day hanging out with people.

Day 3: Leave at midnight and head back via I-40. Maybe stop halfway through and just make 2 700 mile days out of the trip back, or a 1000 day and then a 400, who knows.

However, t-rock just learned a very important lesson. The country just got a whole lot smaller. I tell people all the time there's no place in the US I can't be in 2 days if I want to. It's a nice feeling knowing that.

try living on the east coast and saying that no way in hell would i try one of those CC50 runs

Although your rather long day trips has motivated me to do the same. I am toying around with a trip to main to hit a brewpub for lunch and bring some refreshments back home with me

Very true. We were looking last night, as Vermont and Maine were the only two states in the continental US my friend hasn't been to on a bike, and Maine is only 23.5 hours from us. It'd take a little longer for Washington, but 90% of the US. is within a day of me. We talked about taking that train from KC to Cali with the bikes, riding across the US, then coordinating with one of the guy's friends who is a trucker about shipping the bikes back and we'd just fly.

Hell, LA to jacksonville is just under 2500 miles. Not impossible. Not easy, but not impossible.

when you start thinking about trips in thousands of miles, you are offically a bike nut

You speak from experience. We are hoping to do a trip up to maine this fall or next spring if you want to join.
