Giro day 2 lunch stop

Really cold trip into the mountains today before lunch. Right up into the clouds cold, wet and sometimes only 10 ft visiblilty! But then we came back down into nice weather. And this pic is from our lunch stop.

Day 1 complete!

Wild ride. Many lost. More later! Click on the spot link on the right panel to see some of the route.

Lunch stop

Breakfast riders meeting

Night before

Everyone is arriving and checking in. The parking lot is a museum.

All packed.

Ready to head out tomorrow.  Just hoping for a good nights sleep.

Final test ride complete

Just finished a 19.8 mile test ride. Bike seems to be running well and I seem to have remembered how to ride it. I think I have everything in good shape. My only fear is that in the past I have encountered times when it would stick in 4th gear... but it only happens rarely when the engine is very warm and I have run in top gear at full throttle for quite a ways. Needless to say, it hasn't happened since last years event! So I haven't had a chance to investigate it. Maybe I'll be lucky and the oil change and cush drive fix will make it go away? Wish me luck. Its time to pack.
