Tom and I arrived at the motel in Jackson, TN after 650 miles and were met by Steve. We had a relatively dry ride today with light rain the last 10 miles. After the normal greetings we called Uber and went to a Grill and Brew for supper. Back at the motel more talking about tomorrow’s route with variations based on rain or not. Tomorrow is a short 400 miles so a later start in the morning is in line.
Tom and I rode over 850 miles today in 13 1/2 hours. It was 27 degrees going through Flagstaff then it warmed up to 50 for most of the day. We wore our heated liners and gloves all day. It did get up into the low 70s the last 2 hours. There was a major train wreck near the Arizona/ New Mexico border that made for a 50 mile detour.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s report as rain is predicted. 😒
On April 30th, 2024 I'll be at the Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge attending the annual TTD (Tame the Dragon) BMW event again. This year we are hosting a couple of guys from Australia. They purchased K1600 bikes last winter in Virginia and will collect them and join us for this event.
Afterwards I and Andy Morley will guide them across America via KY, AR, MO, KS, CO, UT and Arizona arriving at my house in Arizona on May 17th. John Parry will meet them here and over the following week guide them around Central California. They will store their bikes in LA ready for the next trip back here.
Follow along using the Spotwalla map I will have going starting on May 5th through May 17th.
