SaddleSore 1600K on Ninja 250R in 21 hours
Prologue
They call it a SaddleSore. I first read about it on xBhp and then heard about it in a small gathering of bikers. It is about riding very long distances in a stipulated period of time. I found it completely stupid and unreasonable. Late last year, I was planning to ride from Pune to Chennai. The topic came up again, when a friend of mine gave me more information about the community that backs these rides, called the Iron Butt AssocaiationMonday, at workRoute: Chennai - Madurai - Chennai - Salem - Chennai (Click here for map)

The ride to Krishnagiri from there normally takes about half an hour, but took me about 45 minutes this time. I was that slow. I enjoyed the moon right above and the beautiful stars that patched the sky. I took it really easy and finally stopped at the gas station eagerly waiting to grab my iPod. When I checked it out, it was completely charged and so was I! I paid up for some more snacks to get a receipt and moved on.
