Thanks Eric,
I didn't realize how difficult a SS 1000 was until my return trip where I
did 667 miles in 11 hours, followed by 564 in 9 hours. Both days were
tough(butt and knees) and I wondered how we did 1000. It must have been
because it was the beginning of the trip and we were excited. BTW I heard
from Mike wednesday, they arrived home 8AM and had plans to see his Doctor.
Let you know more when I here.
Mark
