Thundernin' Down The Road

Tomorrow is DC departure!  The weather looks like it'll be ass for most of the ride, but the weekend itself has potential to be decent.  And, the week after that (in NC), looks to be decent as well.  So I'm not complaining at all.  Billy, Ed and Greg are meeting me @ my house at 5:30...which means Billy'll be there by 10 of 5.  Greg will be early as well and Ed...Ed's good too, so let's hope he doesn't get too fired up watching the B's tonight.  :-D

K has some fun things lined up for us down there, and Billy is working on getting us a tour of the CapitOl Building.  Aside from that, we'll be paying our respects at the Vietnam and Korean Memorials, maybe Arlington National Cemetery, too.

Sunday will be the official Rolling Thunder run, and we'll be watching on the sidelines again (by choice).  I'm going to flee after a couple of hours and catch up with Jan and Steve, and the three of us are going to make a break for it while everyone's attention is still focused on the run.  (Hoping for a cleaner, quicker exit that way.)  The rest of the boys will hang out with K again for one more evening, and then make their way home on Monday...

...Monday...where I'll be pulling up at Jan and Steve's sweet house just down the road from Tail of the Dragon!  318 curves in 11 miles.  I'll be leaving some metal behind on some of those curves for sure!

After a few days of amazing roadways, it'll be our turn to point our front tires northward.  If we're feeling particulary ambitious, we've already agreed that we'll do the return trip in one shot.  But Dave, that's over a thousand miles...that means...   That's right; it'll be another Iron Butt!  (Subject to how we feel after almost a week on the road, mind you.)

So right now, life doesn't suck!  And, to lift the spirits even more, check this out!

That's right - early admission to the 'Vous! And you should see the contraption that Aaron is working on.  He's definitely stepping things up!   Good things lie in wait and I'm ready for them.  Here's hoping everyone has a great week+ (and for those I"ll see tomorrow, we're gonna have a blast!)   Ride Hard, Take Road Trips!
