So in April I sign up for an in state Ohio ss1000.
Now here it is 2016 I have a different bike a 1988 Yamaha Venture. Unfortunately the bike I had at the time was not up for the challenge. As Hoagy says how many times do you get do something you enjoy & help kids at the same time. I found Hoagy’s Heroes, saw what it was all about. My Iron Butt adventure began about 10 years ago. Hoagy has done a 50CC ride among other IBA rides and gets people and businesses to sponsor him and his fellow riders in an effort to raise money for children's charities. This guy e-mailed, called and continually followed up to ensure I had all the info I needed to try my first 50CC. Being the curious person that I am, I clicked the button and the next day I get an e-mail from some guy named Hoagy that acted as though he had known me all his life. On the IBA site I noticed a ride that said Hoagy's Heros 50CC ride from San Diego to Jacksonville. How did I ever get in to this? It all started with the click of the mouse. I found myself 2,400 miles from home arriving at a hotel knowing no one. I left Jacksonville on the 2nd of September with 8 days to kill and visit friends having until the 9th to arrive. I arrived in San Diego after a long ride from Jacksonville, Florida with many stops and detours.
