Been a while. But I haven't been idle since last entry.
There's been a Spring break-out ride to Florida to see my family down there. Highlight of the trip was giving my grandkids a ride on the bike (see photos). And of course, the ongoing effort at setting the bike up to my specs. I've rebuilt some parts (tank bag) and purchased some new things (cylinder protection bars)...and as a result of the trip to Florida, put on some barbacks (Rox Risers).
I'm up to about 7K miles on the bike now and I've done the 6K service. And here it is less than three weeks from departure on the long ride of the summer. My attitude about the trip is different this year. I don't seem to be as anxious as I have often been. Of course, seeing as how these long trips have become an annual event, it's not unreasonable that they should get easier to prepare for. On the other hand, the preparation has a large mental component...and that somehow seldom gets easier.
I'll be posting more in the coming days about the details of the trip and adding to this as the trip goes along.
