Congrats!

That is impressive. We recently did 1800 miles over three days with on 700 mile day and that was enough. Of course two up. I don't think I could do what you did. AWESOME!

So, I just blocked a weekend on my calendar in September to do this...

My wife: “What’s this SS1000 on the calendar?”

Me: “That’s a Saddle Sore 1,000 challenge! We’re gonna ride 1,000 miles in 24-hours!”

My wife: “Um, you mean YOU’RE gonna ride 1,000 miles in 24-hours. Have fun.”

Well done. I did this in my younger days on a BMW K bike and 20 years later I still remember how hard it is. 300 mile days are now my norm when I tour. Congratulations!!!

Me and 2 buddies did this 3 weeks ago. 1150 miles in 22 hours. the documentation and paperwork was harder than the actual riding!
from the moment I told my wife what we were going to do, until now when we talk about what we did, her statement has been "STUPID!" she don't get it.

My wife had the same attitude until I reminded her "you DID marry me, so what does that make you!" After 40 years, she needs to be reminded of her bad decision making skills.
