Yup, just got home from doing a Bun Burner 1500!! I rode 1631 miles in 35 hours! It was cold, amazing, fun and OMG, COLD! Talking to a friend a bit last week about the ride and getting some tips and decided to just do it. 1500miles in 36 hours, eh, fairly easy, 1500miles in 24 hours, ummm not so much! I started out thinking I would try the BBG (Bun Burner Gold - 1500mi. in 24 hours). I haven't ridden hardly at all since July so I'm not sure What I was thinking??!!!
I sent the "Club Whiner" a PM and suckered him in to riding with me (almost had his wife going too, but Mia wised up at the last minute!)
So, I left the house at 4am, met up with Blake and rode to Tuscaloosa, AL and home again. Our coldest temp was 26 degrees yesterday morning at 5am'ish? and warmest was today around 76 (I think). We had a really nice ride, but I was way out of practice for this kind of riding and this was Blakes first endurance ride (He may not be so quick to say yes, the next time I PM him! )
We had fun and I'm really glad I did it! I was wondering if the physical therapy was helping and it is but I still need some work done. The accident hurt me more than I thought.
Oh well..... We'll do better next time! Right, Blake! BTW, Congrats to Blake - He succeeded in his FIRST endurance ride - the Bun Burner as well - 1500+ miles!
