Plans For Saddle Sore 1000 Underway

column_ibalogo.gifPreparations begin in earnest this week for my first attempt at the Saddle Sore 1000.    This an Iron Butt sponsored event where riders travel 1000 miles in a 24 hour period.  Long distant riding is not new to me, but this will be my first timed event at this mileage.

  • Finalize date (May)
  • Begin endurance training
  • Set up the RT
  • Finalize witnesses and required paperwork

Any advice? Let me know!

    Good luck, be warned it can be addictive (7 under my belt). A while ago I started writing this http://knol.google.com/k/andrew-thomson/long-distance-motorcycle-riding/1kuc8mjxx9lte/2#. Still not quite finished but you may find 1 or 2 tips there.
