Congrats Matt on a amazing ride. I was shocked as well as everyone at the table when Steve announced your podium finish as well as your finishing mileage. All I could think was you had either lost a receipt or a photo fail. Of course now it is all relevant., you are the winner of the 2011...

Great report. That is tough enough for sure to stay in the saddle for that long in the cold especially at night.  You never really know how cold you are until you stop.

Colorado would be my first choice and Northern NM my second.

I guess she doesn't like sub freezing weather. When I tried to start the FJR the other morning to go to work it did it again. The air temp that morning was 22 degrees, so instead of draining the battery I left it at home and took my old truck. When I got home after work, I pulled the plugs...

This year's LOE definitely had to make you think outside the box. I was also up into the wee hours of the morning before the start trying to figure out a route that would yield a close to zero point total. I went north up into the mountains during the daylight hours and then was going to head...

My entry for the 1088 3 day rally is on it way. This will be my first multi-day rally and really looking forward to ride in it. The only type of multi-day LD ride I have done is a Ride Around Texas Insanity Gold, but then every time I have ridden the compete in the Utah 1088 it was always a...

Looks like a big FJR crowd has signed up for the LOE. Makes me wonder who will be the top rider outta this bunch. I know I'm going to try and move up in the standing from last year's ride or at least be a finisher. Good luck too all.
