[QUOTE="Allen_C, post: 1122083, member: 86444"] My wife and I plan to do our first LD Ride in mid-April, the SS1000 before the Moonshine Lunch Run in IL. Our route will take us from Indy going West on I-70, South on I-57, South on I-55 then West on I-40 to Little Rock, AR. We will reverse the path to get back to Casey, IL. We plan to leave Indy around 4pm, riding the 595 miles to Little Rock, arriving about 2am, sleep a few hours in Little Rock then leave there around 8am. to ride the 480 miles to Casey, IL, arriving around 3pm (all times Eastern Time, we have to arrive by 4pm). Is this a silly way to do this? Because the arrival time of 4pm and not able to leave until the afternoon before, it didn't make sense to ride all the way through the night since the temps could be a bit cold in mid-April and I'd prefer to get some sleep instead of being over-tired. Has anyone done one this way before? What are the things we need to plan around for this trip? Thanks in advance for your input! [/QUOTE]
