This is my second IBA ride, the Iron Butt 1500/36 otherwise known as the Saddle Sore 1500 sponsored by the Iron Butt Association. www.ironbutt.com/. I started this ride on July 14th, 2016 at 3:30 am from Holbrook, NY and rode to Brookfield, CT, then Troy, Rochester and Hamburg, NY. Cleveland, Sandusky and Columbus, OH, then east through southern Pennsylvania, and back to Long Island, NY, finishing the next day July 15th, 2016, at 1:20 pm. I completed 1,531 miles in 33 hours and 23 mins on my 2010, BMW R1200RT. It is the same bike I completed my IBA 1000/24 on back in 2014. Careful planning is essential in a challenge such as this, as well as knowing the limits of your motorcycle and of your body. Mental and physical preparedness are key factors in completing any iron butt ride. I always plan to ride the unfamiliar roads first, when my mind is fresh, and come back on familiar roads, and through familiar towns [hopefully, ones that you have some friends in] on the way back. This can be crucial if you have a mechanical problem, or, if you are too fatigued to finish your ride. I will simply say this, ‘plan the ride, and ride the plan’. Thanks for watching and enjoy!
