Hey all,
I'm planning on an Iron Butt ride in August. Me and my '84 1200 Aspy are heading down the Pacific Coast Hiway in August......

....If anyone might be interested in joining me on this once in a lifetime ride, let me know.
What is your route to the coast in WA? I might be interested in joining you for part of your trip depending on my schedule. Maybe down to the Redwoods. I love the coast!

As for the iron butt, as already mentioned you will almost definitely not be able to accomplish that on the coast highway. From my place in Port Orchard to 1000 miles down the coast puts you at Bodega Bay. Google maps puts that at 21 hours, 35 minutes, without stops and without motorhomes. From my experience on the coast highways, making it that far in less than 24 hours with summer traffic would be a miracle. Add to that the fact that you would be travelling a lot of miles in the dark, not only would you miss the spectacular views, but you would also be in heavy deer country, and trying to ride the PCH at night would be even slower because of the large amount of curves. If you were only talking figuratively then the South end of Oregon is doable in one day, a long day.

John
