This one has many of my friends and family shaking their heads in disbelief. I am going to ride 1000 miles one way to eat a cheese burger. This event has been going on for the last five years. It all started in 2005 when a farmer in Illinois invited a few friends to come to Moonshine (population 2) to have a hamburger with him. In 2005 there were 30 bikes from 6 states that made the run.
This is not an advertised event and word is spread via the Internet on forums and by word of mouth. The 5th annual lunch run had over 600 bikes from all around the US and Canada and 1,119 Moonburgers were sold! So you may be thinking to yourself big deal a lot of people ride long trips on motorcycles. Well yes they do however this lunch run takes place in April. Typically the weather is in the 30s with wind and snow. It has been said that the MLR was a wacky idea, held in a wacky place at a wacky time with wacky weather. Visit the MLR web page here.
So here is the plan I will leave Denver on April 6, 2010 and ride to Booneville, MO where I will spend the night with some friends. On the 7th I will head on to Moonshine. I will spend the 8th-11th in Moonshine and head back to Booneville on the 12th and the on to Denver on the 13th.

Are you thinking I am crazy yet? Check back in April 2010 to see how it went.
Well I can let everyone know that this trip has been canceled due to a situation out of my control. I will now plan to make the trip April 2011.
