And Away We Go

Five days and we head for Parkersburg West Virginia; Mineral Wells to be exact, and some of the best riding roads in the east for the UTR rally. We have a lot planned this year, museums to visit, an African Safari, a visit to prison and all include a great ride. The bikes have been serviced, lights and oil checked again, polished and shined and the trailer checked. I finished packing today (I know maybe a little early) but I am ready to point the bike towards the west and have cool breezes in my face. Did I say cool? Well weather.com is predicting highs in the low 80’s and lows in the mid 60’s through the first half of the rally. So join me as we climb mountains and survey the valleys below as the residents of the sleepy villages go about their daily lives. Smell the sweet hay being mowed or the wood smoke from a kitchen stove as breakfast is being prepared in a log cabin near the road as we pass. What will we find? No one knows what waits for us around each turn but we do know that at the end of each day we will enjoy laughter with some of our dearest friends.
