Attempting first SS1k / BBG

[FlyingJ]

Here is a SPOT link for J's BBG attempt:

Here is a link to my trip using my phone (Droid Razr) with the android app Bubbler GPS Lite. This will start 4/9 and run through 4/14, I tried using Google Latitude but I was having a lot of problems getting it to work properly. Tony's link is for his spot tracker and I will be using that along with my phone for the ride back for the BBG attempt. Using my phone is more of a learning tool for me for future rides and trips, hopefully I have it figured out, if not, I guess its more head scratching and reading.

Smart ass...I still have some around the edges.

Well yer gettin outa here about the right Time J.. Tomorrows first 5 or six hours are gonna be chilly.

"Chilly " (?)

Really? "Chiily" is 55-65

Anything below that is just crazy cold

 

[Jeff F]

Good luck!

 

[FlyingJ]

I'll be happy if I can get out of here dry with the temps in the 50's, I'm watching the weather maps closely, looks like it's all gonna be all in the timing. I just need to get my butt south as quick as possible.

 

[FlyingJ]

Well running a little behind schedule but that's normal for me, Once I'm on my way I will be fine.

I should be on the road in about 30min.

SS1k looks like it is underway

Have a good ride-

Remember the further you ride/ the warmer it gets

 

[Bustanut joker]

Man do I feel for Jason right now... Cold and raining here.

 

[El Toro Joe]

He should be well south of that rain and into warmer temps by now.

 

[101stpathfinder]

Hold that thought Bust, in 15 or so hours he will be in 80 degree weather having those feelings about you. Maybe he can send you some pics from Key West!

Hugs&Kisses from the sunshine state

 

[Bustanut joker]

Wow Joe! Just checked and by golly yer right.. Acu weather say's it's mid 70's just south of him right now.

Hey Tony? :****:

 

[ericboutin]

Not sure his route but it's sunny and 80 here in SC!

 

[101stpathfinder]

Bust- keep it up and I will send him back with a VERY unpleasant package for you...

 

[Bustanut joker]

Chuckles... Jason isn't putting anything smelly in his cases.

Looks like he's having a rough go of it.. about 2 hours behind where he should be right now.

 

[101stpathfinder]

Bust-

What kind of seat is he riding on?

 

[snackbauer]

A couple questions.

1. He's 7 hours approximately into this thing, and he's averaged about 45 mph so far with a full night of riding ahead. Panic time?

2. Why start at 11am? Just curious.

 

[101stpathfinder]

No panic...

Refocus, 45mph will actually do it-

Not desired mind you, but he may be enjoying the ride.

I have found my average is much slower in cold weather. Let's hope he hooks up with warm weather and interstates and knocks this out.

He has to have this ride to attempt a BBG on the return.

Ah, then I see the sense in taking it easy with this ride. I'm not sure I'd ever try one, but they're fun to watch via Spot.
