Great job on the videos!
I heard your comment at the end of video two and this came to mind...and the strip from Bowie AZ, through Willcox and into Benson can get quite cold in April so be prepared for that.
If you plan on doing more of these kinds of rides you may want to reconsider the above advice. Your headache may also have been brought on by dehydration.You should be hydrating on a near constant basis, not just at every fuel stop. You will find the vast majority of the Iron Butt Rally riders all use a Moto Jug (or similar), or a hydration pack. If you don't have to pee at least at every fuel stop you're not drinking enough. If you feel thirsty, you are already behind the hydration curve.
Yeah. I really can't explain it but I was drinking a lot water. I did have to take a leak at every fuel stop. It was hot from Fort Stockton thru to El Paso so it could be that I didn't compensate for that section but before and after that I felt fine. Still drinking plenty of water though.If you plan on doing more of these kinds of rides you may want to reconsider the above advice. Your headache may also have been brought on by dehydration.
Looking forward to the third video.

Huh, I would have figured that you'd have had at least one under your belt by now. Still working up in the Windy City? If so, just commute back home one day; it's the perfect mileage.Fun stuff. I’ve got to get mine done
Glad to hear it. I'm guessing that this is the first of several future rides.I really enjoyed this iron butt ride. Especially in the direction we were headed. I would have liked to spend more time there but I got a really big road trip coming and couldn't use more vacation time but overall I had a really great time doing this.
That would be ideal. Houston to DFW, SA and AUS to DFW, and then the bullet train from DFW to Denver.The only thing better would be a bullet train to the mountains with a baggage car for bikes.
The plan for now is try one in late September out to Lubbock returning back they Brownwood and Bertram to get finished with the seven Texas tour of honor stops. That should work out for one. I’ll let you know.Huh, I would have figured that you'd have had at least one under your belt by now. Still working up in the Windy City?

Be careful on those iron butt runs, they can become quite addicting!I really enjoyed this iron butt ride. Especially in the direction we were headed.

I thought I read over on the IBA forum, the answer is 'no'. Too early in the morning for me to find it and to do the reasoning in my head on why.<...>I am not sure if you can nest a 50CC within an E2E ride or vice-versa so you'd need to check into that first.<...>
I think it's because you CAN'T do one without doing the other, whereas a BBG nested inside a 50CC is legit because it's not required during the ride. I nested a SS2K inside of mine.Slightly off topic...
