Damn!
I only did 550 and damn near died of heat stroke along the way.
BTW, I did the Utah 12 on the way home. Man what a ride! |

Actually, I was tempted to get a thou when I saw how close I was. For
about a nanosecond. The goal was to sleep in my own bed, not get some
silly certificate. I've got one of those and it sits in a drawer
somewhere, ignored.
>Kudos to you. That's a LOT of miles on a KLR.
I don't deserve kudos. Sympathy for the pain in my hands, butt, and
ears, maybe, (pain which will take days to go away, btw.) Or awe at
how stupid someone would be to attempt it. Considering the
conditions, it's an unfreakinbelievable LOT of miles on a KLR.
I'll post a detailed report of the ride elsewhere in this thread.

Amazing how the temptation to hit 1000 miles disappears after so many
previous miles, huh?
Kudos to you. That's a LOT of miles on a KLR.

For certain values of "tearing up." I hate pics of me in corners. I
always look so sedate. The pics do give a decent idea of how much fun
that road is, though. Thanks for taking us out there.

My first day going down to Tennessee I did 850 miles. I was tempted to
do more but I was where I wanted to be. Took me 13.5 hours on the
Ultra which is probably equivalent to 8 hours on the KLR.

huh? I'd think an Ultra is far more comfortable than a KLR. And it's
not THAT slow, is it?

That might make it a bit tough on the northerners.

Pthhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
I'm sitting in a room in Council Bluffs, IA after three back to back
days well in excess of 500 miles each, with two more to come. I
shoulda just stayed there in Utah.  Mark was a trooper yesterday,
putting up with me pushing us on to Douglas, WY and finding the very
last available room in the entire area. Same damn thing happened
today for me. I get into IA and the College World Series is here.
Last room in the area cost me $139 plus tax. Aughhhhhhh! >> Stay informed about: Today's ride - Moab to San Diego |

That was pretty much my point.
13 hours on the Ultra would be as easy as 8 hours on the KLR
