We were up early again today but we didn’t get on the road till 7:30. Tom took some extra time to repack his bike. The duffel bag he was using was too big and he couldn’t use his mirrors to see anything. So he unpacked it and moved things around and things are much better now. He was also having problems with his radio so we had no communications while riding all day yesterday. He found a loose connection and all is working now.
When we woke up this morning the parking lot was full and many of the guests were up early too. I noticed many people had on Nascar clothing. Then I realized today’s race was in Michigan and the track was about 70 miles north of the town where we were. I listened to most of the race while riding today. Way to go Mark Martin!
The weather was perfect all day. It started at about 60 degrees and got as high as 77. I removed my jacket liner for the first time this afternoon.
We traveled all day on I80 through Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. Made a gas stop at the worlds larget truck stop. The place had parking for 800 trucks and the plaza had a movie theatre and a full time dentist. I think I even saw a few professional women from the world’s oldest profession. When we reached Omaha Nebraska we finally exited off of I80 and took I29 North to Sioux City. We pulled into a Days Inn at about 6:30 central time. These first 3 days will all be on super slabs, clicking off the miles, so that we can reach the good roads sooner and enjoy them more.
We’ll try to get an early start again tomorrow and make it into Montana heading toward Glacer N.P. I’m sure the scenery will start getting better soon.
Life is good!
Total distance: 684 miles Butt factor: 2
