The end of the road

 Another 750 mile day and I made it back to the barn after 14 days and 5,000 miles. Good weather again today. A couple sprinkles twice was all the rain I had for the whole trip.

I did stop and took a few pictures seeing as how I wasn't very good at it earlier.

Friday

 I left Cedar Falls this morning at 05:30 and arrived near Denver, Colorado 12 1/2 hours later. The ride was uneventful and cool until the last 100 miles but even then it was only in the 80s. I should make it home tomorrow by 6:00pm. Again nothing really to take pictures of so if you've driven across Iowa, Nebraska and Eastern Colorado you can call up those memories.

Looking forward to getting home.

Thursday

 Sorry to those readers who wake up early everyday just to see what I’m up to.

I've been visiting with my folks and old friends of mine that still live here. Not much more to add except it’s always fun to catch up with the friends.

I’m leaving town first thing Friday morning and have a room reserved in Brighton, CO just east of Denver. It will be a short 778 miles via I-80. Then another 800ish to home on Saturday. Right now the weather forecast along that route shows little rain and wind which is why I'm taking this route instead of the southern one through Kansas and then I-40.

All for now.

Made it to Cedar Falls

 I left this morning at 05:00 and after 940 miles arrived at Mom and Dads at 8:00 pm. Pleasant weather except for a couple hours of heavy cross wind in the afternoon.

The last several days

Our riding group today at a lunch stop
All the bikes lined up this morning for a photo shoot. 

 I was having such a good time here that putting anything on this blog slipped my mind. We did some great day rides on fantastic black tops don’t ask me where we rode as all I did was follow the leader. 

Tonight is the banquet then my plan is to shove off in the morning by 05:00. There is 3 days of rain expected starting Monday so if all goes good I’ll make the 900 miles to Mom and Dads tomorrow night and miss the rain.
