My Iron Butt

[Deleted]

I decided to take a drink of the infamous Iron Butt kool-aid and now I am hooked.Here is my trip/ride report from it.
Saturday Sept 29th I completed my first Iron Butt ride. I rode with David Gillespie and Ron Allen of the Long Riders. Here is a breakdown of the day's events.
I rode my K-1200 GT for it since the GSA is down with a busted rear shock.

Departed the house in St. Pete at 0330 Odometer reading:43,961
Met up with a couple of riding buds in Brooksville FL at 0500, Odo. 44,028
Took a little ride through the South Eastern states via
Cecil GA Odometer 44,230
Perry GA Odometer 44,332 (brunch at Cracker Barrel)
Lithonia GA Odo. 44444
West Columbia SC Odo 44,635
Darien GA Odo. 44,842
Wildwood FL Odo. 45045 (late dinner at Steak and Shake)
St. Petersburg FL End Odo. 45137 at 0030 Sunday morning
So in total, I rode 1,176 miles
Iron Butt qualified miles 1,104
Total time 21 hours
Iron Butt time 18 hours.

I was seriously thinking about riding an additional 400 miles on Sunday morning to get the Bun-burner 1500 award, but when I woke up Sunday morning, I could not move my arms or shoulders from the day before. I have my sights set on the bun burner ride this spring.

Safe riding,
Robb

When you decide to do a 50CC, let me know. I've ben thinking about one for a while now.

My hats off to you Robb, don't think I could do one.

I remember a few years back a bunch of our members kept posting on this board how they were going to do this "around Florida" iron butt ride.

Well they talked and talked but nothing ever came of it.

Finally Robert Letsos and I put together a "Marshmallow Butt" ride and I think we got around 20 participants. ;D

I too have been thinking of the C2C....

I did the All in Florida Iron Butt back in 2005 not long after I got the R1200RT. Believe me, I know what your arms felt like, I had to go to work the next day!!!!

Welcome to the club......I think.
