Hopefully tomorrow morning about 09:00 CDT, I’ll be heading to Jacksonville, FL. for the IBA Spring certified Rides. Below is the link for my spotwalla tracking. I’ll start the trip by during what I hope is a sub 16 hour Saddle Sore 1000. Y’all come ride along with me.

Headed to Jacksonville later this year to catch the auto train. Safe travels.
 
Hmm. His Spot link shows him heading west. Is he going to Florida by way of Asia??

Well, the Spotwalla title does say Long Way.
 
Westbound from Las Cruces NM at 8 pm.

He's planning to do the IBA rides in JAX which don't start for another 7 days, so perhaps he's on his way to San Diego now in order to do a 50 CC back to JAX?

He said the first attempt is a sub-16 hour SS1K. Wimberley TX to Dateland AZ is 1050 miles so perhaps that's his goal for tonight.

Well, 14hrs into it @11:08P and he was just west of Johnson AZ, ~814mi from Wimberley (roughly, from Google maps) so a sub-16hr SS1K doesn't look likely to me . . . but my butt's tired just sitting here in the recliner so whadda I know!

Go, @Splash!
:rider:
 
Well that’s the slowest 1000 miles I’ve done in awhile. Then wind was brutal and beat me like a rented mule.
 
As we like to remind the newcomers to the sport... the time is irrelevant as long as it's under 24. (personal challenges notwithstanding)
 
Unfortunately, I’ve decided to pull the plug on the rest of my ride. I’m heading back home. I started feeling bad last evening and I’m worried that my condition is going to worsen. I need to get home and see my doctors.
 
Tim, congrats on another 1k but yes, do take care of yourself.
Have a safe ride back home.
