The SS3000 - The rest of the story.

During the 49 state ride (48 Plus) in 2010 there were 5 days that I rode over 1000 miles and 3 were in a row.

I had the receipts to document the rides but I never took the time to submit the documentation until recently.

They came today. A SS1000 cert for day one, over 1100 miles. A SS1000 cert for day 4, over 1000 miles.

And a certification for day 6, 7, and 8. Over 3000 miles in less than 3 days. This is concidered an extreme ride and is a first on a Victory.

And yes I talked to a lot of people. And I led the 4th of July parade in Hyder Alaska. It was a lot of fun.

I also came close to documenting 5000 miles in 5 days. I did that on day 4 through 8.
My data shows that I covered 5020 miles in less than 5 days.

I did not plan on doing this. I bought gas at the end of day 3 so I don't have a receipt showing the start of day 4. Because of that I lost the first 150 miles.

The full 49 state ride took 16 days. I still had 349 days to ride around and smell roses.

On the UCC I'm going to get a receipt at the start of each day. Just in case.

The time and mileage is from starting the bike in the morning and ends with finding a motel room.

The numbers - GPS Miles and time.

Day 1 - 1136 miles - 22 hours 44 minutes - 10 States
Day 2 - 796 miles - 15 hours 32 minutes - 6 States
Day 3 - 896 miles - 16 hours 41 minutes - 8 States

Day 4 - 1044 miles - 17 hours 33 minutes - 6 States
Day 5 - 938 miles - 16 hours 40 minutes - 5 States
Day 6 - 1002 miles - 17 hours 31 minutes - 5 States
Day 7 - 1007 miles - 17 hours 28 minutes - 5 States
Day 8 - 1029 miles - 17 hours 58 minutes - 3 states

Day 9 - 777 miles - 17 hours 15 minutes - 0 States
Day 10 - 165 miles - 3 hours 37 minutes - 1 State
Total time - 9 days, 17 hours and 16 minutes
