Skies were
still cloudy in the morning but no rain and no lightning. Today’s objective is to reach GlideRider’s
place in Ohio. With good weather and no
traffic I should be able to travel the 600+ miles.
The route for
today took me north around St. Louis so no heavy traffic was encountered. It was I-70 all the way to Columbus OH where
I connected to I-71 heading to east of Mansfield where GlideRider was going to
meet me and we’d then ride to his place in the country.
We connected
and reached his place at around 8:30pm….a long day and 642 miles.
I met Carol, his lovely wife, and we all had
a wonderful dinner and a glass of wine.
I was pretty tuckered out by then so it was a shower and bed.
GR has a very interesting house. The original structure of the kitchen and
dining room was built in 1875 and he added on to it. He and Carol have pretty much designed all
the remodels and add-ons, and GR also built a huge “barn” where he keeps the
two cars and two bikes. The upstairs
barn area is for him and his buddies when they break out their guitars and
drums and start jammin’. Da Dude's a moosician too!
I should make
up some stories about my two buddies, Buzz and Bob, or Swamp Buzz and Country
Bob…..yep, think I will, should be fun.
I have three
days to reach Madawaska….Bob thinks I can make it in two. I’m beginning to feel better about it….hope I
can do it in two. That would be a total
of 20 days and will make it easier to divide into the total mileage to come up with
a good average of daily miles.
