There is a club, association, bunch of crazies – whatever you want to call it – group of people who like to ride motorcycles. A long ways – I mean…really far.
They are called “Iron Butts” – the world’s toughest motorcycle riders. They like to test themselves and their bikes for long distance endurance rides…read more on the Iron Butt website.
Brad, Rick and I have been thinking about one of the SaddleSore 1000 rides for a while…but we just never said OK. Then our opportunity arose – it was the Moonshine SS1000.
The Moonshine Lunch Run is a “legendary” ride with the destination in Casey, IL (near Terre Haute, IN). Let me tell you, the ride is fun – but the burgers, BBQ and pie are out of this world.
Brad ended up not being able to go – but Rick and I made the ride in 24 hours and had a good time. Here is the map and some pictures.
The map - 1000 miles, 8 stops, 23 hours. (1 to spare)
The Start - Cedar Rapids, Iowa
At home, before we left.
Gas stop and rest. Illinois, I think.
Another stop...this was Indiana
A little blurry - but notice the temp. This Friday morning about 5:00am.
Yup...tailbag. FROST!
This is a Friday morning stop - we'll call it breakfast.
Casey, IL Comfort Inn - the final stop.
