Congrats! Glad to hear it was a safe and sound ride. Well done!

What time did you leave and what time did you end?

And OK, I have to ask, dodged a garden hose? :)

Sorry, I left Ontario OR at 5:06am made a pee stop around Mountain Home ID as soon as I jumped back on the freeway when Bugs Bunny ran if front of me running away from Elmer Fudd. First gas stop at Snowville UT. Went through Salt Lake City, ate a sandwich at some pullout around Tooele UT. Got gas in Wendover UT. Stopped in Elko NV. Got back out on the freeway between Elko and Winnemucca NV 100 degree temps when a farmers truck carring at least a 50 ft green hose of some kind fell of his truck about 500 ft in front of me with a Semi taking my escape route. Whew The force was with me and I found my way around it. Got gas in Winnemucca NV and made one more stop at Burns JCT for one more sandwich. I got back to Ontario at 9:13pm. It was real fun but I don't think I'll do it again until I try for the BunBurner 1500 on my way to WeSToc this year.

Glad to hear you had a successful ride. No ride is without some sort of event. The good thing is that you were ready for it. You packed enough food for like 3 days. ;) I do the same thing.

Congrats on the ride.
