Either way, join us Friday June 29th, 2012 for a Noon departure at Capitol H-D in Dimondale, MI (on the southwest side of Lansing) These rides continue a long tradition of IBA certified rides departing Capitol H-D. Passengers and all makes of bikes are welcome. Since this
route is pre-approved by the IBA and we are approved For the BB1.5K ( 1,500 miles in less than 36 hours ), the ride will be two 761 mile loops starting and ending at Capitol H-D, the first done counter-clockwise and the second done clockwise - see the map above. There should be adequate time for a recommended three hour rest between loops. For the SS1K ( 1,000 miles in less than 24 hours ), the ride will be a 761 mile loop starting and ending at Capitol H-D ( same route as for the BB1.5K ) in addition to a following [ a +250 mile ] out-and-back from Capitol H-D to Houghton Lake Heights and return.
