Greetings all, this post will cover riding days 4 (3/8) and 5 (3/9). Apparently camping in the middle of nowhere doesn’t include Wi-Fi. Yesterday (3/8) found us on the road just outside the Yuma Proving grounds around 8:30am and ready to roll. We’d had a great night of sleep in the base hotel and had absolutely gorged ourselves on the free continental breakfast. We’ve been rationalizing our continuing gluttony by openly stating “we’re burning a ton of calories, so eating whatever we want is okay!” Hmmm, not so sure that’s completely true, but it is our reality out here on the road without the wisdom of our spouses to keep us honest. Anyway, it’s become all too apparent that the starting and stopping of Hank the Tank while using clip-in pedals are some of the most perilous phases of the ride on any given day. Odie and I had a “tip over” event trying to stop on day 1, and then on day 4 we had another “tip over” at the very beginning of the day as we were trying to start. We’re both too old to keep having these issues, and it’s incumbent on me to do better. Hank is an unwieldly beast when going slow, and that’s no excuse, but it does hint at a solution---DO BETTER SCOTT!!!
As I sit here in my comfy office in NC with my brand new right knee, I must say that I envy you two. I miss the days of riding into Point Mugu with the two stealth warriors heavy on my trail. Pretend that you are in stealth mode ready to scream like a banshee, that should give you strength or at least a laugh or two. Lovay

Hold on loosely, but don't let go.
I LOVE mac and cheese with tuna and following along this adventure! Safe travels! ❤️
we were chatting with Susie right before you all arrived! She was excited and looking forward to the wining and dining to come...!
