Summer either already feels like it’s here or is soon on the way for most of the country, and summertime naturally means road trips. However, most of us aren’t planning a road trip quite like Dave Schaub’s.

Taking a page from the Iron Butt Association’s long-distance motorcycle rallies, Dave plans to hit 49 states — the lower 48 and Alaska — in a span of nine days. That’s 9,800 miles total in 216 hours. Solo.

Oh, and he’s going to do it all in a Brizio-built Deuce roadster.

Schaub, a 59-year-old California native, plans on leaving from Needles, California, on September 8, after an official send-off party on August 21 at the Goodguys West Coast Nationals in Pleasanton, California. His route will take him across the southern half of the United States, up the East Coast, through New England, then across the northern half of the United States and up to the town of Hyder, Alaska.

Sure, it’s a lofty goal, but Schaub isn’t doing it for the publicity alone. He hopes to raise penny-per-mile donations along the way, which he will then hand over to the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford.
