The second of my "triathalon" ----

GOING FROM TORONTO TO KINGSTON VIA SARNIA!!

the final tallies for the Iron Butt Ride -- a Saturday July 21, 2012 ride are:


started at 2:54 am and ended at 10:44 pm. -- way too many cigar breaks; leisurely trip along the seashore parkway in pa; texting; and having to pay cash for gas

odometer: 1684.7k

overall average 86.6k

moving average 101k

max speed - I forgot to use it ; or I deleted it (sorry your honour, really)

total moving time 16:38 hours.

hardest parts -- I-75 is a mess; Buffalo to I-90 is a mess; 401 is a mess all the time

conversations with Customs -- priceless

at Port Huron -- the officer heard of the ride -- he didn't think he could do it on his Harley -- since he was wearing a gun I merely gave a non-committal nod without any other comment.

cost - about $110.00 not including the cost of Gold Balm

temperature -- 12(not including wind chill) in the morning 87 in the afternoon

amazing: I did not use my air horn even once!!

what I learned -- I do not have an iron butt.

That ghost is gone forever!!!!!

Now that I have done the “air” and the “land” time to do the “sea”
