The morning sun is shining and a great day is beginning...nothing better than some sunrise guitar to get some feel flowing in my brain and then clean up - load up. The southwest is experiencing some record highs for this time of year and I will be riding west so the sun will be behind me and supposedly there's no wind. Maybe I won't need to use the heated grips today - I can't believe the huge difference those grips make for comfort even just turning them on for a few minutes to give the hands something to feel.
I should mention the GPS has began working again, but I have been looking at maps in the morning and then just writing down route numbers and directions for the top of my tank bag. Of course once on the road I tend to just read the signs or stop for fuel and see what advice people will suggest and follow those more than anything. Anyone that has ever taken a ride with me or tried to plan something knows I never really know exactly where I'm going most of the time (or when I'm going to get there) but somehow I end up where I'm going and usually on time. Nothing better than getting lost along the way and seeing something new!
Looking at the map I think I maybe able to roll down Route 66 for a few kicks! Today's ride should cover about 466 miles and I will be in Phoenix. Totally looking forward to some Gingles time and bike week!
"Painted blue across my eyes and tie the linen on
and I'm on my way, on my way
looking for a paradigm so I can pass it on
is it on my side, on my side?
is it to the sky?
is it to the sky?
is it to the sky and down?"
