My LongDistanceRider.Net Stuff has arrived!
Wow, less than two months after sending in my documentation for my "Easy Rider" 500 miles in 12 hours Ride I received my certificate and assorted mementos from Longdistancerider.net!

As you can see below, your very reasonable registration fee gets you a nice certificate detailing your accomplishment, a quality looking patch, a license plate frame showing your achievement ride, a sticker for the motorcycle's side case and a drink coozie with the LDR logo. Cool Stuff. I shall be wearing the patch proudly soon enough.






This organization is just getting started, oh readers of mine, notice I am but 8 for the Easy Rider certification! Don't waste any time in qualifying for one of your own or one of the longer rides! Become a sort of plankowner!

LDR Celebrates its Debut Coast to Coast Ride

We left Tallahassee to travel to Jacksonville, our starting point, on October 5. On Saturday morning, we topped off our tanks at 6:00 am (EST) at Jacksonville Beach and headed west. Our first destination was Junction, Texas, where we arrived 20 hours (1200 miles) later.

On day two, we traveled 21 hours from Texas and arrived at the border of California around midnight. We reached our second day destination of San Diego at 2:00 am (Pacific Time.)



We completed our ride in 47 hours and traveled 2404 miles, with 22 gas stops. It was a great time, with great fellow riders (Mike Scott and “Red” Barnes) for company, great weather, and enough memories to last a lifetime.
