Ride Recap:
Hill Country Ride  (Ben)
October Breakfast Ride  (Colin)
Great route, great friends and great food.  All is well.
Craig Olsen completed an Iron Butt event of 1,500 miles in 24 hours.  He made 1,527 miles with 11 minutes to spare.  By my calculation that is just shy of 64 MPH average speed.  Cudos to Craig's nephew, at 18 years old, became the youngest rider to complete this Iron Butt distance.
