We arrived! It was a very long day yesterday as we pushed it a little to make today easier. the rain, the two lane West Virginia roads and a couple tired bikers made the last 2 hours pretty tough.
We got in this afternoon around 2:00 very tired, but very happy. We did it! We were never positive we would until I put the kickstand down in the driveway. I know there are tons of folks that make a longer trek to Sturgis every year, and we have a new found respect for them. But this was our "marathon" and no matter the finishing time or how we felt at the end, finishing was the goal. And we did. We can now sew our patches on proudly proclaiming "I Rode Mine". 4614 miles round trip (and touring).
I plan to put a long blog entry together soon with a summary of the trip. But tonight it is sleep. Work starts tomorrow. I really appreciate all the readers/followers. I promise more info soon as well as pictures. Just give me a few days.
I will also be putting together reviews and details about some of the equipment we put to the test. Some passed with flying colors, while others fell short. I am not trying to promote or disparage any product. I only want to share how they performed on our tour.
Be back soon. But until then, here is the route home in case you want to see where we went on the way home.
