I think that part ended up on the cutting room floor. :)<BR/><BR/>Glad you didn't push yourself. It can really cut down your awareness, IME.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing you back here safe and sound, and hearing all the stories not safe to post! ;)Geohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10870200869104069214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196162736338237407.post-11495000597794880462008-05-06T17:49:00.000-07:002008-05-06T17:49:00.000-07:00BTW maestro209 = Lance of the MNR crowd!maestro209http://www.blogger.com/profile/05263481522876877660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196162736338237407.post-6038927203967107362008-05-06T17:48:00.000-07:002008-05-06T17:48:00.000-07:00Hey there buddy! Personally I think 680mi on a bike in one day (being over the age of 30) is more then respectable. I know I can't ride my ZX-6R for anything like half that with out a weeks worth of back pain.<BR/><BR/>Geo linked me to this blog and I'm very happy to see you doing such a long trip! I owe a couple of recently passed friends a journey of my own. I'm figuring out how to do it.maestro209http://www.blogger.com/profile/05263481522876877660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196162736338237407.post-27007937961755481402008-05-06T12:37:00.000-07:002008-05-06T12:37:00.000-07:00680 miles if very respectable, but nowhere near an ironman butt ride. You did the right thing though. If you haven't seen the Grand Canyon it's a must. Don't miss it. Have fun and remember to keep the shinny side up and the rubber side down.djv2360http://www.blogger.com/profile/05278133278220836867noreply@blogger.com
