Living Legend
I'm in the early planning stages for an Iron Butt SS1000 run in late September. The plan is to leave Fredericksburg, VA at 10pm on Friday night, September 26, head south on I95 to Richmond, then west on I64 through Charlottesville to I81 South. Route will continue on I81 South to to where it meets up with I40 West and then continue through Tennessee on the way to the finish in Benton, Arkansas sometime on Saturday afternoon. If I still have my wits about me, I'll continue on towards Dallas to stay with my family there.
I'll need to rest up on Sunday and then ride down to Houston for a conference on Monday morning. Then on Thursday afternoon I'll be heading out of Houston to ride up to Leander, TX (NW Austin) to see my oldest daughter perform (Drum Major for her High School Marching Band) on Friday night. Saturday has me riding back up to Arlington (near DFW airport) for a marching contest and then on to my parents outside Bonham that night.
Another rest day on Sunday, October 5, before heading out early on Monday morning for the ride back to Virginia. I hope to make it to eastern Tennessee that evening. If time allows I hope to ride the Dragon on Tuesday morning before grabbing the interstate back to home.
Looks to be about a 3,500 round trip. I'm sure I'll be saddle sore by the time it's done.
Here's a link to the route basics:
from:Mine Rd @38.249182, -77.493963 to:I-295 N @37.681180, -77.539320 to:benton, ar to:bonham, tx to:1200 Louisiana St., Houston, TX 77002 (Hyatt Hotels & Resorts: Hyatt Regency Houston) to:High Chaparral Dr, Leander, Williamson, Texas 78641, United
