An Iron Butt Association Extreme Ride
This is to Certify that in July of 2009, Tim Masterson road a 2008 BMW R1200GS Adventure through the 48 contiguous states of the United States of America in 7 day, 13 hours, 26 minutes! Mr. Masterson's startling 7.733 mile journey started in Louisiana and continued on to Maine, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and California, twisting and turning to ride in each state before ending in Oregon.
The 48 State Challenge was conducted under very strict guidelines set forth by the Iron Butt Association. Only a handful of riders from around the world have managed to solve the challenges such a grueling ride involves.
