Its on, I will be attempting a 200ccccc. I am planning to start the ride Saturday August 30th. I will plan the ride out this Saturday for the start time.
I am planning on a West Palm Beach start and riding directly to San Diego for the first leg. I thought about trying to string BBG attempts together,
but decided that that was to risky for the overall 200ccccc attempt. I think my strategy for this ride will be to start each leg with a BBG and rest at the coasts.
October would have been a much better time as far as temperatures, but I wanted the heat to test my resolve to see if I still have any determination
left for LD riding. I also want to stay in no more than 3 motels during the entire ride. After reaching Jacksonville and getting the final receipt, I will continue on to
Traxxion in Woodstock, GA for service on my suspension. I have tires with 5k on them now and I am hoping the rear last another 10k so I can replace it after the
10/10ths is complete. I pulled a 1/2 inch nail from the tire this past weekend but it seems to be holding air. I will be riding the '05 which is currently running like crap
(Think its pissed off for lack of riding this year) The bike should be flipping 200k on the last return leg to Jacksonville.
September is going to be a great month for riding for me! After the suspension is serviced on the '05, I will continue north to Iowa to visit family. The visit
will be broken in half with a "Mississippi Headwaters" ride attempt. (Mn to La) In Louisiana I plan on visiting a friend and do some local riding. Then Wheaton
gave me a nice route back to Iowa which should be fun. (Thanks Mark!) From Iowa to NAFO, then a hard ride home to West Palm. Return to work for a few days
then take the '08 2-up to Traxxion for suspension services and finally on to EOM.
Hoping to nail down some plans for the 200ccccc this coming Saturday.
I could use witnesses at the coast and will have the ETA(s) by Monday. I will be running SPOT and have split the rides.

Really looking forward to finally flipping 200k on the '05 AND taking the '08 for its first venture out of Florida.
I hope to see some of you at NAFO/EOM !!!
