The most I've done in one day was 750 miles with my wife on the back, it was a good ride to PA.

There are a lot of pros and cons about long rides, but to each his own.  I have two iron butt certificates, but my best is Milwaukee to Dallas stopping for gas, eating off the shelf.

I did the Iron Butt--1042 miles. Started 3:30 AM and finished at 8:30 PM. It was OK, but wouldn't do two of those on two consecutive days.  For an extended trip 400-600 is a good day depending on the roads and what we want pictures of. Even then, 300 for a day is more enjoyable. You see more and get to experience the people in the area.

Riding back to San Diego, CA  from Omaha, NE a couple of years ago I did two 1,000 mile 12 hours riding days back to back. Left Omaha at 6 AM on Monday and was in San Diego at 7PM Tue for dinner. Stopped in Grand Junction for a few hours sleep on the way. As I passed over the mountians in CO I hit a blizzard and white out and couldn't even see the ground but had no place to stop so had to keep going. The next day passing Las Vegas it was 103 degrees.

You better stock up on the 5Hour Energy....at your age, you're going to need it!  :huepfenlol2:

I actually tried it yesterday, I don't think it did anything for me. I did better flipping up the helmet and chomping on some jerky and drinking some water.

Isn't that the same as going from one side of Houston to the other and back?  :huepfenjump3:

Nope you need to cross you're home state twice in one day. In fact I may circumnavigate the entire state today, :huepfenlol2:

Now there is an "iron butt" ride.


you would have to ride Westerly to Provincetown 6 times to get to 1000 miles

Something is wrong in having a State that is not big enough to even right the name on a map!

I can cross my state, West to East in about 2 hrs, does that count? :nixweiss:
South to North may take 12 hrs, though!
