And She's Off

[akbeemer]

Yesterday my main riding buddy and wife informed me that she planned to do a SaddleSore 1000 today. Annie also made it clear that I was not invited to go with her. She departed at 0430 hrs this morning headed for eastern Montana and I expect to see her back here this evening. Wish her luck.

You can follow here progress at this link. Looks like the Spot did not begin tracking until she was about 20 miles down the road.

Excellent

Helen said " GO GIRL!"

Helen was going to do her 50th birthday solo as well...then invited me at the last moment and only if I followed

Almost there!

 

[henzilla]

Well?
appears to be back?

 

[akbeemer]

Done. 1034 miles in 17 hours.

 

[JamesInCA]

Yay! How many stops? I'm guessing this isn't her first?

 

[akbeemer]

Final fuel stop. I was permitted to tag along for the last 125 miles.

So much for a post using an iPhone.

And, she did it riding upside down. That's awesome!

A feat like that deserves a right side up picture!

I had 9 fuel stops, and 2 for stops for turns to prove I did not cut corners (plus McDonalds has free wifi!)
and yes this was my first!

Thanks! I should have done an additional 500 miles.....still had a few hours left. I think I am hooked!
Remember when we first met in Fairbanks back in 2008 and I had maybe 150 miles TOTAL on a motorcycle!?!
