Redmond 1K daylight ride
As one who monkeys with such things, this could be a "daylight" ride.
I didn't confirm Rob's solar tables but hey, he's a sailor (and Ironbutter.) Having spent a fair amount of time outdoors myself, consider this. IF you are sittting on your warmed up, gassed up bike at first light, ride from first light to twilight .... you will be in Redmond. You have about 15.5 hours + or-. It depends on how much you fudge presunrise and post sundown. I'm only suggesting averaging in the low to mid 60's mph.
Personally I do a bit better than that with as much interstate as is involved with these routes. I've always found the key to such endevors is to "keep your feet on the pegs." It isn't about the going, it's about the stopping. This is gonna be a hoot!
Spend some time on the IBA website. There is a wealth of wisdom there.
