I've done Plano to Ft. Davis twice in the last year (826 milesfrom the house to Indian Lodge in about 11 hours). I've thought about doing it and running an extra 90 miles (then 90 back to the lodge to make the 1K). As the pup pointedout above, I just can't do it "for the ride" -- long, flat, boring. But for the Big Bend rides that follow, and forthe fun that I have with other guys once there, I'd ride it as often as time permits. In fact, we may be heading that way the 2nd week of April again this year!

Juz do it!

I did the Iron butt ride last year at Easter, with some brothers from our Houston chapters. We ran I 10 from Katy to Deming New Mexico and back for the 1000 in 24 hours, then finished in San Antonio for the 1500 in 36 hours....It was fun, hot, cold, and wet all in the same 2 days.....but I did it, earned my spur that I proudly wear now....if you haven't done it, you should....ride safe and long..L,L & R.
