Gearing up
That's right. I'm gearing up. I leave Wednesday. The Sabre and I are going home, or at least to the Northeast. We'll cruise straight up to Maine, as my first two days are the only ones that Scott Triolo will be free. Then I'll backtrack to Vermont, Connecticut, Philadelphia, and back home.
My first day out will be my longest ever, in the realm of 300 to 350 miles. My longest prior to this was about 250, up to Urbana. The next longest day will be the next day, in the realm of 550 miles, and the third day will be similar. Hopefully I won't be broken. Hopefully.
I expect one of those two will be my single day PR for a very long time. I was reading up about doing an IRON BUTT: 1000 miles in 24 hours. There's a whole organization off of it. You need to save your receipts, show where you started…. provide clear proof…. and then you get a certificate and a license plate frame. It's hard to do, though, people say.
It's 1080 miles to my Uncle's place in Vermont.
Someday.
