    My girlfriend, Kate, is just about finished with a pretty epic ride.

    She left PA 7/7/14 and rode down to Key West.

    She left Key West 7/9/14 or so and headed up to Alaska.

    She then rode all the way up to Prudhoe Bay.

    She has turned around and is in TN and 2 days away from making Key West.

    She is an Iron Butt rider and the goal of this quest is to be the first woman to complete the Ultimate Coast to Coast to Coast Insanity ride as a rider.

    Except for Alaska, she did this trip solo.

    She has only been riding 3 years.

    Here is her spot:

    Here is her Facebook:

    And her personal page:
    http://www.loffkat.com

    She will be checking in and writing everything up, but her Facebook has lots of pictures and stories.

    Brilliant stuff :clap

    Always interested in tales of exploration, very much looking forward to the ride report and let me know if you want to promote this ride in the mag ... ADV will of course also be given credit in any articles, as is right and proper.

    If I can help in any other way then just get in-touch :1drink
