I got back to boston a few days ago to a work mess! Oh well!
It was a great trip and now i have to adjust back to the life that provides tripping opportunities!
Lost three hats and a cooler, and broke a mirror!
Had to break out the tool kit once as my pos cable loostened up and had to tighten it. Kinda felt like a harley guy for a minute! Not one flat, which was a refresher since last year, i ended up w five plugs in the rear before the sidewall blew.
So, the bike is as dirty as its ever been. Gotta fix that!
Slept two days when i returned. I was very tired from my intense vacationing!
I drank almost two gallons of water and juice when i got home, so i have to pay much closer attention to hydration on the next trip. I was pretty dumb in that respect. I dont like the taste of water, so ill have to find a way to flavor it next time.
Hit all of the weather. After getting whacked in between the eyes with a chunk of hail, rain doesnt seem that bad! Seems the two trips ive done, ive spent a couple of days in motels holed up due to snow or hail or something.
I did a bunch of natl parks, but really loved the roads less traveled the most. Being where there was no water, cell, dollar stores, gas stations was home to me. Cant wait to b there again!
So, gonna get to work and prep for a fall trip. Im thinking late august or early sept across the top of the us until the temps drive me south. I have a babystiiing committment in pagosa for sept 15 that id like to keep!
My deepest thanks to all that followed, suggested and cracked wise while i was traveling.
Special thanks to fergie for
the meridian meet!
