This series chronicles the rides and reflections of record-holding long distance motorcycle rider Bruce Arnold.
Bruce is one of ten Mile Eater Gold members in the
Iron Butt Association,
to which he has to date submitted 42 distance and
endurance rides--41 certified, 1 in-process, all "one ride, one cert"--including:
-
the 100CCC Insanity (CCC GOLD),
-
10 SaddleSore 1000's (SS1000's),
-
4 SaddleSore 2000's (SS2000's),
-
20 Bun Burner GOLD 1500's (BBG1500's),
-
2 Bun Burner GOLD 3000's (BBG3000's), and
-
the Bun Burner GOLD Trifecta (BBG4500).
All of Bruce's Iron Butt rides were completed "old school", meaning without the use of oversized tanks,
fuel cells, Bluetooth headsets, Garmin GPS, or heated clothing.
From January 2007 to May 2008, he submitted at least one IBA ride each month for
a total of 22 rides over the 17-month period. And in December 2008,
he became the first and only Harley-Davidson rider to complete the
BBG4500:
