We communicated well and made decisions together as a group. It was a great feeling to be able to complete this challenge twice in the same year. We had a couple issues but still got it done around 14 hours. We had a good group, good route, and great weather. I wanted to beat that time and attempted another 1k in the fall. Lots of mountain passes and slower roads. I did my first 1k earlier in the year with Austin and the gang. When we boasted about that, of course, it now became a challenge to see who can do it in less time. We did the challenge in less than 18 hours. We had time to roam around Main Street and got some cool Sturgis souvenirs. In August, my great friend Kristi and I did the 1K in 1 Day and headed to Sturgis and back. To me, personally, I carried an unaccomplished feeling for a year because the first time I attempted this in 2019, I was hit by a car right when my odometer read 1,001 miles, but I could not verify this accomplishment because I was unconscious in the hospital and my motorcycle was totaled. For the ones that do not ride, they might wonder “why would you torture yourself and ride 1,000 miles in one day?” They would not understand that our self-esteem soars when we have been able to accomplish something like this, and to some who treated the challenge like it was a race to see who can complete it in the best time, the higher the self-esteem will go. It was perfect timing because it gave members something to do during the crazy lockdown of COVID19. Cool Biker Lunch and Rides Facebook group page hosted a 1K in 1 Day challenge during the 2020 riding season.
