On Sunday morning September 27th 2009 at 4AM I left the Best Western in Maggie Valley.
My starting milage was 23,073.

It was dark and damp.  There was fog once I got on the highways but it was dry for the most part (for the 1st 560 miles)

[mungam]

I needed to be home by Monday at 10AM so I wanted to get a minimum of 700 miles in on Sunday and could do the last 300 on Monday if needed.

[mungam]

I had been thinking about the 1000 miles in 24 hours and was running a reasonable pace to get it.

[mungam]

My previous longest day had been 853 miles when we rode to Cripple Creek back in 2006.

[mungam]

This would be my longest ride in 1 day.  It would also be my longest solo ride as well.

[mungam]

Once I got to 800 miles, there would be no stopping me unless there was a tornado.

[mungam]

The last 3 hours of the rider were in the dark and rain on poorly maintained roads.
My neck and shoulders were killing me from trying to watch the road for puddles that might be hiding potholes.

[mungam]

I arrived home at 9:29PM.  The odometer was reading 24,108 miles.

[mungam]

I had done 1035.9 miles by the bikes count.

[mungam]

Oddly enough the GPS had different readings but I still had more than 1000.

[mungam]

Here are the times from the GPS.

[mungam]

And here are the averages.

[mungam]

Here is the route I took.
