ecarnell Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Very true! As long as he was riding within in his comfort zone than it is fine. I'm actually sitting in Durham Timmy's right now warming up and having a coffee - about 12hrs earlier in the day I was sitting here doing the same thing.... Over 300 miles so far (didn't look before I came in) and have at least another 69 more miles to go before home (pending which way I run). Should be home before 10pm.

extreme600 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 393.4 total miles on the OD. 12.6 run time hours Nice run ecarnell. Glad you made it safe and sound. Now, did you get any pics? I won't be able to get on my sled for at least a week now so some pics to drool over would be just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledguy74 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I too would require a couple days to recover from a epic trip like that. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfisher Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I would not be able to walk the next day..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Wow... tip of the helmet... some mention not being able to walk the next day... I'm not sure how long I would be out for but it would be a while. Let me guess this is just a warm up training run for Cain's Quest at 3300 KM http://cainsquest.com/documents/registration/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I took me a couple of days to recover from our 260 Km day last Saturday. First ride of the season, but it was good pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extreme600 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I took me a couple of days to recover from our 260 Km day last Saturday. First ride of the season, but it was good pain That is correct. There is only two kinds of good pain and sledding is one of them. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecarnell Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think I would be really sore if I was on my old 1200 GSX. The 800 with the split rails is just fantastic. I had some overheating issues for first half of the day . Thought trails were that hard, though looks like previous owner had cut two inches off the flap. Any suspension setting above 2 would hear up in certain low snow conditions (I usually ride af 4). No real pics as phone was freezing up in pant pocket. Even tried to charge in tank bag - but she would freeze up and shut down. How many miles is the RAP tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledguy74 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I believe the rap tour is around 640 miles. Never done it, just what I read and heard. About 20 years ago I rode from KW area to Tobermory 265 miles in one day during new years weekend. Your 393 mile day at this time of year is flat out impressive. Well done.

Sledguy74 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The Tobermory run was done on a 1987 Indy 600 triple. My current ride is a 2012 Polaris IQLX turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecarnell Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 The RAP Tour may have to be two short days then.... besides my blisters on my fingers - really not that bad. I'd do a 200 mile day - maybe 300 today, but not the same day back to back in those conditions. Sleds sure have come along way. only pic on the trail (think on B?) : ]http://s1193.photobucket.com/user/ecarnell/media/2FD67AF0-FD64-462A-AD90-4820A51F34BF_zpsyjcn3q7z.jpg.html]]http://s1193.photobucket.com/user/ecarnell/media/2FD67AF0-FD64-462A-AD90-4820A51F34BF_zpsyjcn3q7z.jpg.html]]http://s1193.photobucket.com/user/ecarnell/media/2FD67AF0-FD64-462A-AD90-4820A51F34BF_zpsyjcn3q7z.jpg.html] And two from the garage when I got home: ]http://s1193.photobucket.com/user/ecarnell/media/78D35C13-94D6-4C32-9CB5-1811059A64E8_zpssaz3mtay.jpg.html] http://s1193.photobucket.com/user/ecarnell/media/3DCB2706-4E0E-4D84-B84B-9657ACD0B8C9_zpsseu9fh06.jpg.html] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
