Iron Butt 2!

So I was talking with some of my buddys that I ran the SaddleSore 1000 with 2.5 weeks ago, and here we are planning the next one. although this time, we are not going to start and finish in the same location. We are considering heading from Columbus, Ohio to New Orleans, LA. (1040 miles) Spending a day relaxing in New Orleans and seeing the French Quarter, etc.... then leasurly riding home a different route over the next three days, hopefully camping. Thinking of stopping in Memphis, and Saint Louis.

One think I know for sure is if we are giong to do this, I have some shopping to do...
Zumo GPS
Tour Pak with removable hardware
Taller Windshield.

We either have a severe case of wonderlust, or are crazy.

It took about 3 weeks to get the certificate . I have the laydown license tag on my bike which allowed the use of the Iron Butt license frame fyi.

Wow... that's a great route mikebaby.

I've also been contemplating another one. Although I'm leaning toward a Bun Burner this time.

I'm going to be in Colorado next month and there is a 1000 in 24 endurance event going on. Starts and ends at Fay Myers Motorcycle World in Greenwood Village. Looks to be an awesome route.

I did a Saddle Sore 1000 on June 27 and submitted my paperwork on the 29th. Haven't heard anything yet. IBA website says it could take months.

Just got my email saying all paperwork for the IBA has been approved and certs will be in the mail. I also got my password to go and spend $$ at their store....

Only bikers would do a run like this, spend money to get certified then spend more money to buy patches,t-shirts and hats, LOL.. and I am right in line..

anyway,, sent the packet in on July 1, got my email today,, right at three weeks..
