I've never done the 1,000 mile run in one trip. I just finished a 8,300 mile 14 day ride to the Arctic Circle and we had one day with 851 miles (Cambridge, Il. to Sturgis) and 862 miles White Horse to Fairbanks. We did what you plan to do. Skipped meals, stopped for fuel at about every 120 to 130 miles for a quick walk around and drink fluids.

The SS 1,000 and the BB 1,500 is just the entry level stuff. The BB Gold 1,500 (which is 1,500 in 24 hours) is one of the hardest. The CC 50 is coast to coast in 50 hours. Then the Butt Lite 5,000 in 5 days, or the grand daddy of them all, 15,000 in 10 days. And thats just to finish. If you want to win you better do that, plus collect a bunch of bonus points by making some side trips. Winners are closer to 20,000 in 10 days. Its not to bad to do 1,000 in 24, or even do it 2 days in a row. Then you start seperating the men from the boys real quick.
Ahh, Real Men with their wisdom make us mere mortals feel so small,
PS, TMCGEESR,
Please display one of your Iron Butt Certificates for us so that we can more deeply appreciate your commentary, otherwise, STUFF IT,
