Iron Butt to Custer?

[lw]

In starting my plans for getting to the National Rally next summer, one thought kept popping up. . .
[size=100:jmreosj5]What Would Chuck Burt Do?[/size:jmreosj5]

I think it would be a fitting tribute to Chuck's memory to plan my passage to include an Iron Butt attempt on the northbound part of the trip with the IB section ending at the Rally Hotel.
With the help of MapQuest I determined that a Denton, TX starting point would give a qualifying distance of 1060 miles estimated at 16 hours 30 minutes.
(Bobt- Sherman, TX comes up at 1061 miles and 16 hrs 39 minutes in case you were wondering ;))

I'll have Frances & Sarah trailing in the comfort of the Expedition, but it'd be nice to have another bike or two along. We've got 9 months to work up to it.

What do y'all think, anybody interested in giving it a shot?
