About the Book

Ten consecutive thousand-mile days on two wheels in a mental race against imponderable odds and a ceaselessly ticking clock -- welcome to the legendary Iron Butt Rally. This is a riveting book, written by sixth-place 1995 finisher Ron Ayres, telling the story of what many call the most gruelling test of human endurance in all of motorcycling. With guts and shear willpower, riders must overcome (or succumb to) fatigue and danger, calling upon human reserves buried deep within. You will discover what motivates the riders, how the rally is scored, what takes place each day, how the routes are planned, and what it's like to ride to the very limit of endurance -- and then ride some more.

Review :
"Ron Ayres' diary-like account of the Iron Butt Rally had me wanting to climb on my bike and ride into the moonset/sunrise. . . . The book didn't have me interested just for the great roads, incredible scenery, or great weather, but rather for the comraderie of fellow competitors and the chance to push yourself against all odds. This ride isn't for all riders, but this book is. . . . We give this book 4 out of 5 wheelies only because it left us wanting more." - Motorcycle Times
