First "official" Iron Butt ride
« on: June 21, 2011, 03:08:57 PM »
I just finished my first official Iron Butt ride.  Rode 1000 miles in 24 hours.  Started in Adairsville, GA., then to Straw Plains, TN, Conover, NC, Hillsboro, NC, Latta, SC, down 95 toward Savannah until the weather got bad then backtracked north to I-20 west, Timmonsville, GA, then hit the 1000 mile mark at Thomson, GA.  Left Adairsville at 3am on 6/18, hit 1000 miles at 2:02am on 6/19.

Here are a few shots of the trip

Congratulations, I've done a few of the IB rides. 

I bought my SEEG from the dealer in Cartersville last fall.

Congrats.  Hope the IBA has gotten faster with the certification than they were 5 or so years ago.
