Rob's bike ride

[fjrob1300]

Well everyone we made it home safe and sound. Our total round trip numbers are as follows 6958km (5464 on the bikes) in miles that's 4175miles (3278miles on the bikes). We had a wonderful time riding together and meeting all the different folks along the way. We spent 4 nights at Brads house which was some of our best times.Brad was a great host and a fantastic Firehopuse cook. Thank you so much Brad. We camped out at 5 different campgrounds. Stayed at my cousins house.Thank you Jason and Courtney. And used 8 different motels. We were on the road for 22 days in total. I took over 400 photos and Brian shot over 7 hours of video. We carried our flippers and masks but did not use them. I went through 4 pairs of sunglasses, Brian went through 2 pair. We carried far too much in the way of footware and clothing. We didn't use sunscreen un til it was too late. Rode without our helmets for one day. Brian changed a set of tires. We both spent about $1700. each. We saw deer, dolphins, alligators,pelicans, a **** fight, a pirate party, sunrise on the Atlantic Ocean , the sunset at Key West , torential rain in Daytona, blistering heat in Miami, frost in Tennissee and good ol' southern hospitality. I drank large sums of beer and Brian also consumed lots of Rum. Had Biscuts and gravy, Grouper, tarpon, and cat fish. Toured an aircraft carrier, a submarine, and a destroyer. Wandered around a cavern and took a tour boat in the Everglades. Visited the Kennedy Space Center. Slayed the Dragon and visited the Barber Museum.We ran into a 5 mile long traffic jam on the way home and when we crossed the border there was still way too much snow!!!!

Thanks to Brian for being my travel companion. To everyone we met along the way thanks for the memories.

Great job Rob! And thanks so much for letting us go along with you. One hell of a trip, and you get to keep the memories forever.

(There should be something called post-vacation recovery vacation time.)

Thanks agian for riding along with me. I've been home now for 6 days and the snow is still way to deep with more on the way. Global warming is a farce. The temperature change over the last 100 years has only risen .78 of a degree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So bite me Al Gore and David Suzuki
