thats a full 12 hrs on a bike...so roughly 21 hrs.

it's 2 solid days of riding ... but doable, even without ridiculous amounts of speeding. excessive speeding is against the Iron Butt Association's premise

on a southern route, it's not uncommon to overnight in texas, no matter which coast you started on

he has 50 hrs officially, so until ~7am EST Friday. I think he'll be fine, even if he stops for a couple hrs at a rest stop.

dammit, we are on page 2 now

Looks like he is in Cali.

Probably going to sleep soon, so if he gets on once he makes it to the ocean, CONGRATS TRACE!

Another 60 miles or so left, add in time to get it documented, get a gas reciept and find a place to lay down it will be another 2-3 hours before his head hits the pillow

looks like he pushe dthrough tonight, he seems prety close to sd and withthe delay hes prolly there already. Figure its only a little after 9 so he should be able to find someone to document his arrival.

Ok I just showed y'all how to do it. Class dismissed.

What a day. I'll write more after I sleep but:

2365 miles. 43 hours, 18 minutes, 20 seconds. Not bad.

The IBA member I had lined up to witness for me welched at the very last minute, as in when I called to ask him to meet me tonight, so I had to scramble. Not sure if what I have is sufficient. It should be, but by the letter of the law....

To say I'm pissed is an understatement. It has been handled and overcome.

The mountain pass coming into SD was a cold bastard. Made me glad I got the heated gear.

More tomorrow. I'm a little tired and I'm going to bed now. 1150 miles yesterday and 1215 today.

congrats man!

You should make the dude turn in documentation with yours saying he bailed on you. That shit is shady.

And when you turn in documentation that he flaked out, you should also fuck his mom. That would be revenge
