Iron Butt Rally 2023 – Day 0 – First plan made

It is before midnight and I have already finished my planning and preparations. After I close this laptop, I will hit the sack and you will hear nothing from me until Friday 30 June, 10 a.m. EST. I am under a strict social media curfew from tomorrow morning onwards, no direct information from me must appear on the internet. I may even not be comment or like Facebook posts. So do not expect anything from me in this time. Anybody who has received my GPS tracker link must not share it, it must not appear on the internet. Luckily there is the new http://www.ironbuttrally.net website that will keep you updated together with John Young’s entertaining comments on this website. Stay tuned in to this blog!

I have received the rider number 31 out of 112 starters. The way to the next checkpoint in Tulsa seems close, but as expected, this would have been too easy. It resembles more the Dancing Procession of Echternach.

Talk to you in 11 days!

Mr. Young, please take over the rudder!
