Iron Butt Run

There comes a time in everyone's life that they have to do something for stress relief. That time has already occured in my life, but I have yet to remedy the stress. After a friend of mine that I work with half-jokingly suggested that we go on an Iron Butt run to South Carolina, I told him that I was ready to roll. Knowing that I have a place to stay when we get there is just icing on the cake.
A brief overview of what will be happening:

We will have to make 1000 miles in under 24 hours. Sounds insane, but I think that we can do it in under 18.

In preparation for the ride, we have discussed where to stay, what route to take, and still have to plan out mileages for the different bikes considering I'm on a 750 and he's on a Goldwin 1800. Once all the planning is done, the road work will be a go. The best part of all of this is that I am able to buy an aftermarket seat so I'll be able to walk after the ride. I am also going to get some new risers put on so I don't have to lean forward to reach the handlebars any more! I'll post more after I do the ride. It should be a great ride and I'm looking forward to it!
