Me 'n Zig talked it over last night and, in light of how poorly the US Dollar is doing against the British Pound, we're going to scrap the Scotland plan (at least for this year). That blows goats, but we'd be getting creamed on the exchange rate so we figured it's better to stick around in the US of A and get more for our money. We still have the two weeks vacation time to work with , and that's a lot of time for us to get ourselves into trouble.
We've got an open-invite from our good friends out in Michigan, so we've set our sights there for now. Me and Zig will try to catch up with each other over the weekend and see about laying out an itinerary for the trip. Michigan Paul told me about a camping/canoeing trip they take in August so we'll see if we can model our plans to include that. 'Course, Sturgis is going on right around then, too, so who knows where we'll find ourselves winding up. Besides, that's only about 1,100 miles further...
Naturally, we'd also have to try and work in a stopover at Olean to hang out with those party animals, knock back some cold ones and share some laughs. Everything is up in the air still - which means that currently; everything is possible.
I had a dream about the Rendezvous last night - clear & sunny skies, bikes packed up, miles rolling by....it was a sign. Daylight's a little brighter in the mornings and it's sticking around a little longer in the evenings. There's snow, ice and salt all over the place still, but we've crested the Winter mountain and we're heading down into the valley of Summer once again. Riding Days are coming for us and I'm going to welcome them with open arms.
Ride Hard, Take Chances
