Been a while—I guess I can get away with 4 MC posts with no mushrooms

I commute to work every day on my faithful BMW, but that's not the big news. This Saturday morning, about 4 AM, I expect to sign off on three guys starting a saddlesore 1000. If it doesn't rain too much. Right now the forecast doesn't look good, but they have three weekends free enough for the ride, so I'm pretty sure it'll happen, even if not two days from now.

To complete a saddlesore 1000 you need to document that you rode 1000 miles or more in 24 hours or less. This documentation consists mainly of time-stamped gas station receipts, though technically, a time-stamped receipt from about any place will do as long as it reveals the location and time. You have to prove you were there, and show when. You also need a live person to sign that you left where and when you said you did, and ended the ride where and when you say you did. Doesn't have to be the same person at both ends, but in this case they plan to return to where they started, so I'll be doing both honors.

Good thing I live near a 24-hour restaurant.

I'll try to get some photos of the start and end of their ride.
