[QUOTE="wftreg, post: 1449345, member: 4356"] I have completed 1000 miles in less than 24 hours three times and one time I did register the ride with the Iron Butt Association. Now. that I am retired I tend to stay off the interstate and take my time. Here are a few things that I recommend: Drink lots of water and make sure that the color of your urine is clear and not yellow. It is easy to get dehydrated on a bike. Stay away from stimulants like coffee. I pack nuts, oranges, granola bars, carrots, hard cheese, sardines, crackers, and crackers for snacks, and of course lots of water. I do not stop at restaurants. Take your time because if you are driving too fast you will be tense and become fatigued. I can ride along time if I do not become fatigued. I live west of Minneapolis and was leaving for Saratoga NY. I left around three in the afternoon and drove to Rockford Illinois where I stopped at a rest stop and took a nap for a few hours, then drove through Chicago at about one in the morning when there was no traffic. I hate driving through Chicago, but at one in the morning, I was able to get through quickly. By the time I got to Pennsylvania the sun was coming up and got my second wind. I just took my time and eventually got to about 1,060 and got gas and found another biker who signed the paperwork to acknowledge the time and place. I was almost to the border of NY and the following day I was in the Saratoga area for lunch. [/QUOTE]
