We did it! Rick Paukert and I successfully completed our SaddleSore
1000 yesterday on the way back from the TSRA rallye. For those of you not
familiar with it, that's 1,000 miles on a motorcycle in less than 24 hours.
Here's the quick & dirty story:
04:40 EDT 7,926 mi Pisgah Inn - Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina
06:40 EDT 8,046 mi Knoxville, Tennessee
08:45 EDT 8,233 mi Collinsville, Alabama
11:40 CDT 8,422 mi Livingston, Alabama
13:55 CDT 8,546 mi Pearl, Mississippi
16:00 CDT 8,673 mi Monroe, Louisiana
18:10 CDT 8,807 mi Marshall, Texas
19:30 CDT 8,858 mi Timpson, Texas
22:10 CDT 9,012 mi Woodlands, Texas
22:45 CDT 9,028 mi Spring, Texas
23:00 CDT 9,030 mi home at last...
That's 1,104 miles in 19 hours, 20 minutes; an overall average of 57.1
miles per hour. We also passed through Georgia without stopping, so we did
seven states in a single day. We had no crashes, no mechanical difficulties,
and no traffic citations. Rick and I could certainly elaborate on why it's
called a SaddleSore 1000 if you wish...
