Brian,

First, let me say what an excellent story, adventure, personal goal or all three. I rarely read through a complete travel log but you documented it so well I had to read it from start to finish. Thank you and congrats!

Second, I travel from West Central Florida to Arizona at least once a year, sometimes riding 24hrs when the weather is great or trying to stay ahead of heavy storms. I always stop around Austin and the Three Sisters and found it such a great riding area. I'm thinking of moving there. Question... being in such a great riding location how did your epic riding event effect or change your local riding? Do you still ride local or are you looking for more adventures?

Again, great, great write-up. A big thanks and keep do it on all your adventures.

Delta.... Had to laugh out loud at that. I think they would require you to buy it when your done. Just saying...

Well done in it's entirety, professionally done from soup to nuts. Thank you for your attention to detail, I too think that someone out there in the publishing world would like to capitalize on your great adventure. Your use of foresight is outstanding, your display of endurance ranks high among the best. Truly a ride that you can be genuinely proud of, congratulations on a job well done.

Thanks for sharing Brian. As a fellow crazy, I completely get it. I did a 6400 mile 10 day trip solo in 2012 and cant wait to do it again. Well done!

Thanks for the compliments.
I still ride a lot locally, there is a lot of good riding around the area if you know where to look.

My adventure this year was similar but different. Haha. I rode up to prudhoe bay to get my 49th state on my v-strom.

Your a better man than I Gunga Din. My 1000 mile in 24 hour Iron Butt was enough for me

Default Route and way poin5

I'm making the trip this summer. Would it be possible to get the map and way points? Thanks.
