Concurent 48in10 and 50cc planning

[RandyO]

I'm in the planning stages of a big IBA certificate ride, been thinking of a 50cc (coast to coast in 50 hours) a couple years now, and determined it would be a 7 or 8 day adventure total, to ride to Jacksonville to start the 50cc, then the ride back from San Diego

what ta heck, add a couple more days and do the 48 states in 10 days ride

my preliminary route
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...,48.515625&z=4

total length of ride will be about 9,800 miles, google estimates 6 days 20 hours road time, so that's about 16-17 hours of riding 10 days straight

the beginning of the ride will start with slower progress, lower speed limits and time spent making extra stops just to get a receipt, I only roughed the basic route, I know I can shave some time, 50cc from Jax to SD is normally easy, but my plan is to make a couple extra stops for receipts and go quite a way out of the way off the highway to pickup receipts in Arkansas & Oklahoma

this is a ride that I wouldn't mind riding with someone else that has a similar goal

I couldn't even stay awake for that long never mind ride that far even if I had a comfy bike.

ya, $$$$ like I said, I'm in the planning stages, 10k miles will mean 250± gallons of fuel along the way, $$$$ for preping the bike with fresh tire, chain?, sprockets? and routine service I'll prolly spend the extra $$ for synthetic oil and not do any changes on the road

its a 2 week away from work adventure, scheduling that much time away may not be possible

right now, I'm figuring $5000 between preping the bike and actual cost of the trip

I toyed with the idea of doing that but after doing the 1500 mile butt burner thing , I found myself really bored with the whole idea. Chasing receipts and keeping track of time and mileage got to be a chore.
I like the long distance riding but don't feel the need to log it or keep track.
I do admire the folks that do it as they have more persevervance for paperwork than I'll ever have

the more planning I do, I'm second guessing the plan to do the 48in10m my original ideal was similar to my BBG ride 2 summers ago, I left Newingon,NH on a Saturday evening at 6pm and rolled into Joplin, MO on sunday at 4pm, got a good nite sleep, woke up @5am, on the road by 5:30 just started wondering around, rode into Kansas, made a left turn onto a dirt road, next thin I knew, I was in Oklahoma, back in to MO, Arkansas, Ozark twisities are AWESOME, just for one day of riding it was worth the 1500 mile trip, that evening I ended up in Vivian, LA then headed back toard NH the next morning, kinda rode straight thru on the way back, spend a few hours in the "IronButt Motel" somewhere in Tennesee I was gone 4½ days/4200 miles

my original plan for the 50cc was just to get one day of riding on AZ 191 / Coronado Trail / Devils Hwy,
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...30d2ef3644&z=9

supose to be 1800 turns in 90 miles

then beeline back to NH, total trip would be between 7500-8500 miles

the only part of the trip I would document for an IBA cert would be the 50cc

like Mick sez, IBA paperwork is a pia, and the more I think about documenting the whole ride, the less I wanna do it

50cc??? Like Moped? Scooter?

I don't get it... Or, just get 50cc's of water from the ocean?
