[QUOTE="eeksnake, post: 443216, member: 5664"] Concur with what's been said so far... More folks = more reasons to not complete the ride. Although, like Skooter said, if you're simply riding the same route but at individual paces, it wouldn't be so bad. Just make sure you have a plan for those who can't go on. Remember, it's supposed to be FUN! My first attempt was with a friend. We did all the wrong things. Screwing around at gas stops. "Quick" stops for pictures (those 5-10 minute stops add up fast.) Total lack of preparation for the weather (cold). Didn't help that we were both on sport bikes. We wound up stopping for the night. Was still a great adventure but not a successful SS1K. Don't forget to check out the [URL="https://www.ironbutt.org/forum/default.asp"]Iron Butt forum[/URL]. There are lots of stories of people doing group rides there. Have a great ride! [/QUOTE]
