Hayabusa Iron Butt Ride in 2012

[pashnit]

Been thinking about setting this up for awhile. Plan this far in advance for likely mid-September 2012 & take up a Pashnit Tour weekend slot.

Here's my proposed route. Starting off in Carson City/Reno area. It's been years since I've ridden Hwy 50. One of the coolest places I've ever been - Loneliest Road in America. Perfect nothingness. Also perfect for an Iron Butt ride.

This is 18-19 hr day in the saddle, double back through Central Nevada on the Extraterrestrial Hwy through Rachel & along Area 51. This route is ~1030 miles, one day on the Hayabusa. Whatcha think?

You need to move to the right coast brother

It's definitely doable, and if I was closer I'd join the ride. As a matter of fact I'm leaving today for a 1560m in 24h ride.

Sounds like a heck of a plan.

Why not start in Reno and end in Reno?

I should be living in the area by then and if so I think I am game for that ride.

So this idea is not going away in my head, I'm a bit surprised at how many other riders are also interested in the idea of this ride. That's cool.

Off to make a mod list.
