Well, I left Texas at 3 a.m. on Wednesday 5-20-09. The weather was great all the way up and had no traffic problems until I got to Michigan. Eastbound I-94 was closed at Battle Creek and there was a detour around a bridge. Then I-94 was closed again to Eastbound traffic with another detour at Jackson. But even with the detours, I made it all the way, non-stop, 1268 miles, in 20 hours 31 minutes. I walked into my brother Bob's condo at 11:31 p.m.
Today, while Bob is at work, I plan on cleaning the bugs from six states off of Ms. Clone & gassing her up. Then I am gonna rest the butt & lower back until I get feeling back in them. I am not sure when or if I will be able to post any pics while I am here, as we will be on the road doing a tour of Michigan from Saturday 5-23-09 thru Friday 5-29-09. If not here, I'll be sure to catch up on the blog when I return to Texas 6-6-09. Oh yeah, the return trip home will not be non-stop.
So, until the next post, ya'll be careful out there, keep the rubber on the road, pray for our troops and Ride Safe..................JOHN

ReplyDeleteHi John! 1268 miles non stop! Wow!! You surely need a rest... ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for following Blogtrotter. Would love to read your comments there!!
That's a whole lot of miles in one day. The most I've done so far is about half of that 610 miles in one day..took me 3 weeks to recover from it
ReplyDeleteCongratulatios my friend! you did it!
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
HI John!
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed you while I was in Texas... looking forward to seeing pics from this trip... I guess we can put the "too old to ride that far" rumors to rest - huh? Who said such a thing? Can we rub their nose in it? LOL!
