Ever since I first heard about this I have wanted to do it. I have a few friends who love just hitting the road so it looks like there will be three of us on this trip the last weekend of June.
SaddleSore 1000/Bun Burner 1500 Rules
We are doing the Saddle Sore + Bun Burner, meaning 1000 miles in 24 hours and an additional 500 in the next 12 to be 1500 in 36 hours.
Once you have all your paperwork in order you submit it to them and for $46.00 you get a customer License plate frame, certificate and button. But really you are doing it for the bragging rights.
I do not have the exact route dialed in, but we will leave at 4am on Friday from a local Gas Station, get our time and date stamped receipts and lay down nearly 400 miles before breakfast in Bishop. To get some extra miles in we will head up the 15 to Barstow and then cut back west to the 395 or the 14 to head back north to Bishop.
After Breakfast we will climb into higher elevation and jump into the Sierra's, I really want to stop in Truckee to visit the 50/50 Brewery, and by late afternoon/evening we will be heading down towards redding, and finish the last few hours on the freeway, interstate 5, and take that north to Grants pass Oregon and crash at my moms house, she will be our final odometer witness for the stop. The plan is to be up early and start out to the coast and make our way south to get the 500 miles in before the 36 hour mark. Once that is done we can take a much longer break and get some rest before Sunday comes and we jet home, hopefully from somewhere south of San Francisco.
Has anyone else done this?
I will be riding my 2007 Vstar 1300 Touring. Just gave her a fresh oil change yesterday, and new front and rear rubber in the last two months. The bike came with some Dunlop something.. I forgot to take note (looked sorta like this from what I recall K555 | Dunlop Motorcycle), but they lasted nearly 20k miles, which is fantastic. I now am running Michelin Commander's front and rear, 130/90-16F, 180/65-16. I was told the Michelin's are better tires and should last as long if not longer.... But I heard that once before about the Bridgestone T30 vs BT-023... lol. Time will tell for sure.
Here is the Beginnings of a map of our route, i need to work in 30 more miles, but this is the gist of it.
