You will most likely need at least one other determined rider with you. I had three. If I was to do it myself, I probably would have pushed on to hard for to long and probably not finished. Plus there is more safety in numbers. Not a lot, say 6 or less.

Blas being more health conscious than the rest of us, kept us eating, drinking fluids and taking breaks more often than I would have done.

It's the details that will make or break a ride of that type. Do a whole lot of planning and route finding. Then find an accurate weather forecast. Mine was way off!

If I were going to do it again I would set a more direct route on Super Slab. The back roads were filled with tiny towns and 35 and 45 mph speed limits. This cost us a lot of time.

Now you've done it KAOS! I'm sitting here thinking....SS 1000 Version Two! A direct route. Thanks Seems I never get enough riding in.....Hmmm... no set plans for next weekend yet.
