[emrat:4996] WARFMAN'S SUMMER SOLSTICE RIDE

Warfman's First Annual Dawn-to-Dusk Summer Solstice Endurance Ride

 

This must mean you are going to ride the 955 Tiger, right?  I would love to do this, but I'm traveling east (on either two or four wheels, depending on the weather forecast and odds for wind/rain/hail/tornados) Friday to attend my high school reunion in Manhattan KS.  Perhaps next year . . .

I'm conjuring up a ride for Saturday, with the longest daytime of the year. This longest day ride would go from dawn to dusk, roughly 5:32 am to 8:31 pm. I tried this once a few years ago, but realized around noon that my rear tire tread was almost gone, so I rode home from Carbondale without accomplishing my mission.

 

Basically, I want to put on as many miles and bag as many mountain passes as possible in the 15 hours of daylight, returning home before dark (within 1/2 hour of sunset). The ride will be fast-paced, with minimal stops of limited duration for bike fuel and body fuel. Weather looks cooperative for Saturday. Sounds fun, eh?

 

Who's in?
