Saddle Sore 1000 July 16
We got back around 12:45 AM after 1,034 miles. Now off to bed. Got a little moist but nothing bad. No major incidents to report.
More tomorrow.

We made it back Saturday night around 12:45 am. I want to thank Dick and Bob for bringing Marge and Susan to our quick lunch outing is was nice getting to chat a little. Dick you will be glad to know Coach made it home without tipping over. We hit a little drizzle of rain for a few miles then it cleared up. The ride home was uneventful but very nice. This was my friend David Tyler's first SS1k and his first time to the area. He was all smiles after the twisties and at the last gas stop for his SS1K. Coach and I are on schedule to turn in two SaddleSore 1000's and a Bun Burner Gold this year. Three Iron Butt rides in a year is not to shabby.

Thank you to Dick, Marge, Bob and Suzanne for coming out to have lunch with us. I apologize for getting separated at lunch and not being able to chat. Thanks to Dick for not letting me fall over during my ride up in the mountains :)
It was a good day for a ride for sure.

It was really nice getting to meet up, eat and ride along for a while with the group.
Looks like we're going to need to quit busting Ron's chops about tipping over. It seems that I'm on my way to take the tltle away from him. :(

If I had pulled into that lot, I'd have been over too...it happens to all of us, me more than most according to Dick!

It was great meeting up with a group of hardcore "Iron Butt" 1000 miles in one day riders.
Think y'all are a little nuts......but just a little. Too hard on an old fart like me but if I was younger...... Ron, Rule #1 Stay away from gravel. Rule #2 Refer to rule #1

Bob... We didn't see a thing ;) If anyone ever has a doubt on how a car tire can handle curves they need to follow Dick for awhile. YOUR DA MAN!
