I thought I'd post up on this trip. A while back in the Tag-O-Rama thread I was mouthing off about all the miles I ride (kinda being a dickhead about it). But anyways I thought I'd put my money (my ass really) where my mouth is.
The other forum I belong to fjrforum.com hosts these annual get togethers every year, usually in a different location. Well this year it's in Johnson City, Tn. Which is way to close to Deal's Gap for me not to go.
So I decided that since the trip down there is a little over a thousand miles, I would turn the run down into a Saddle Sore 1K ride. For those that aren't familiar with that, It's a qualification ride to join the Iron Butt Association. Basically You have to complete 1,000 miles in a 24 hour period, and have your start time, your finish time, and all the fuel stops and such recordered, and then certified by the IBA.
I'll be leaving Weds. heading northwest to go ride out the length of the mohawk trail, then into NY, down through Penn, into Virginia, and along the way, I am going to ride the length of Skyline Drive, down to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Depending on how much time I have left at the end of Skyline Drive, I may continue down the parkway for a while, or may just have to slab it to Johnson city from there.
I plan on spending probably 2 days to come home, hopefully camp somewhere along the way home and take a little different rt than I'm using to go down, and I intend to find my way up to T**** Rd. in an undisclosed state and ride that one too since I'm doing all this riding anyway. I'll Post a ride report when I get back, with some photo's.... ride safe every one..
