So do they have a organization for chrome steel butt? Yow! That's hard core. Congrats and my hats off to you.

Oh and BTW, what kind of seat do you have on your bike?

He may need to put one of these on top of the Airhawk after this.

I just put my route together and got start and finish times and miles. When I finished the run I was disappointed that I had not made 48 hours and went eight minutes over that mark. But I was so fatigued that I really could not think or do complex things like add and subtract so I re-worked the numbers today and I DID MAKE IT IN UNDER 48 HOURS! Eight minutes less in fact (math was backwards originally). Again, I have to re-check this and submit it but it looks like the CC 50 came in like this:

Rye, NY to Ocean Shores, WA
47:52 Hours
3102 Miles

I started the CC 50 in Rye, NY but had to ride there from home in RI which was an additional 3 hours. So the total trip really looks like this:

Coventry, RI to Ocean Shores, WA
50:03 Hours
3265 Miles

I am still recovering but it is going OK. I can walk just about normally now although still pretty slowly; I cannot even believe how heavy my feet are.... it feels as if I am wearing a 75 lb. shoe on each foot. I expect to be back to normal before the trip back although what condition I arrive in will be interesting. Maybe I won't be able to actually get off the bike but will just ride close to the garage, lean over to rest on the wall and rest for a while.  ;D

I'm surprised you did not drop the bike when you finally finished.
Not many people would have the streangth to hold the beast up after a feat like that

  • The C14 is vastly overrated.

that's why you need a winch to lift you up from the bike and a wheelchair to get you in the house!

i hear you about being brain-numb: when i was in the service i went to a pre-ranger course for nco's. we hadn't slept that whole first week and still had to take notes, learn the ranger creed/history, knots, and lots of land nav. when it was over i tried to read what i wrote and it literally looked like some toddler scribbled all over it!

Well, that IS 2 BBG's, back to back. :o No wonder arithmetic was difficult! ;D You should be able to get certification for at least 1 BBG in there along with the 50CC. Your route was the most difficult one as well. Worthy of a 50CC Gold! (If there was such a thing). Just think, if you took the Jacksonville FL to San Diego CA route you would have ridden 'only' about 2400 miles. In fact, you rode about 700 miles beyond that by using the Northern route! Again... congrats! :)

Just to let everyone know, I will start toward home next Monday, 20 June. This ride won't be another CC 50 though and so will probably be fairly boring. But seeing as I still have SPOT and I will be using it so my wife can follow along, I will pass along the address of the new tracking page: http://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=30444dfbaf665dece 

There will also be some planned stops along this route; nothing major and nothing too far off the direct line home but I would like to see a few things 'out here', at least on the way by.
