ALASKA AT EIGHTY - Now IBA Certified!!!

Today, received an email with happy news from Mike Kneebone, President of the Iron Butt Association. The IBA has certified Red Dog with meeting all of the requirements for the Ultimate Coast to Coast challenge, making it my third UCC certificate. Woowoo!

Was surprised that he also awarded us the MILE EATER (Bronze) certificate which I was not aware we were elgible for. BONUS POINTS

Many thanks to all who supported and encouraged this ride.

Texas Sidecar now is striping the rig, inspecting the frame for cracks or damage before Red Dog and I set out on our next adventure.

Added this edited photo from the ride: 

You can spot their trail dust rising in the distance, 

giving you time to pull over and let them pass.

Re cleaning calcium chloride off the Wing, before you try the vinegar method, don't!

Either 50/50 or full strength, it was a waste of money, time and effort. 

GrizzLee, you are absolutely right, the WD-40 removed all calcium chloride from the Wing. Spray on a small spot, work it into the cracks and crevices with a paint brush, then wipe clean. Removes the CC and leave the surface shine.
