There was some talk a while ago about doing a SS1K in Newfoundland. I guess nothing came of it. I'm sure it could be done, but it would be tight on the time limit. I just did my first one here in Florida June 20 & 21. Started at 0430 on the 20th and finished at 0150 on the 21st, the longest day (summer solstice). The heat and humidity were really bad for this early in the season. Here's the Spotwalla track of the ride. You can click on any position fix to see the time, location, direction of travel and speed.

A line of severe thunderstorms kept the trip interesting, and I'm so glad I have XM WX radar on the bike. I could not have completed the ride in time without it. I would have had to take cover.
I hope more interest will be generated on the Rock for some Iron Butt rides. If I can make it up there this summer I'll be doing the IBA Lighthouse Ride.
