I did the Cabot Trail for the first time last June. Then again in September. We will be doing it at least once this summer. Twice if I dont end up on the Track.

I cant believe it took me this long to go there.

A few guys I ride with are planning another trip to NC too. I'd love to go but I dont think I'll have the time for it.

It's 5500 miles. If you did a BBG every day, it would take you over 3.5 days (84 hours), more like 87/88 hours. There is no way the IBA would certify that ride in under 84 hours.

That is a retarded goal.

what shmike said, a normal rider going that far should keep it to BB status, so about 5.5 days. Trying to go for BBG+ status on a tank like the Buell he has is just retarded, you couldn't sleep at all for 84 hours and would need absolute perfect weather the entire trip.

Plus, don't forget you won't make regular time on the Haul Road between Prudhoe Bay and Fairbanks.

It is 510 miles. Normally, that is 7 hours on pavement. It will take you 13 hours on the Haul Road, if you are *lucky*.
