  • Part 2 of the Ultimate Coast-to-Coast / America's Longest Book Drive: 7500 miles for 7500 books on a 2003 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic from Key West, Florida to Deadhorse Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
    Ride along as I raise funds and awareness for Promising Pages, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a love for reading among children and providing them with access to books. Visit CrunchMoto.com to learn more and donate.
    Part 2 begins with an almost unbearably hot and humid ride north on US1 from Key West, FL to Polk County, FL. After catching up with family and a quick visit with Blockhead Moto the next day, I waste no time in getting back to Charlotte for a night in my own bed.
    The Iron Butt Association's Ultimate coast-to-coast challenge is Key West, FL to Deadhorse Prudhoe Bay, AK in 30 days or less.

    Ive lived and ridden in Florida for over 30 years and it boggles my mind why people wear heat attracting black clothing. A long sleeve white silk or spandex shirt is golden. youll never feel hot.

      While I was moving it wasn’t so bad, I had an air mesh jacket over an under-armor style shirt. But when I stopped or was stopped at a red light, it was brutal.

      Definitely worth the visit. Prepare for the heat and humidity

    You may have hit higher temperatures somewhere else, but 93 degrees with Florida humidity sounds pretty brutal.
