Arrived safe and sound. What a hot ride! Left at 6:30 am and arrived in Watertown, South Dakota by 6:30 pm. Another 950 km day! Uncle Ron is a trooper having to put up with us young folk.
Mike led this morning and we had about 450 km in by lunch time. After lunch Dave took over a took us for a zig zag ride crossing 23 a few times and down a closed road (and yes Dave there were signs and barriers LOL - but we did follow). Too funny! The speed at times was crazy fast when passing but we all had smiles on our faces as we watched the corn fields slide by!
This afternoon I went to get on the bike and my pant leg hiked up and my leg touched a very hot pipe! Wow that smarts! As we were riding I knew I had aloe in the side of my bag so I couldn't resist grabbing it and slathering it on! Road was clear and no traffic so it was fairly easy to do. As I like to say "do as I say not what I do!" With a leg up on the lower fairing and putting aloe on is probably worse than texting and riding. I couldn't handle the pain and wanted relief so I was bad!
We are an hour behind now and I know I will enjoy the extra hour of sleep tonight. Breakfast is at 6:30 and then we are on the road again! We have another six hours or so which I am sure will turn into much longer as we hit more bike traffic.
