On the Road Again…

New bike’s initial odometer reading: 6,349

Getting out of Dallas took a little longer than expected, but after all the setbacks I’ve had I’m pretty happy with everything.

Thanks to Nicole for coming to help me pack and see me off.

 

I had some nasty rain on the way, but after I got through it there was some nice cloud cover. I had to stop near sunset to get this photo:

Rolled in to Lubbock around 11pm, Laura had some great home cooking for me, and it was a treat to throw my clothes in the dryer instead of sleeping in a tent.

On this, the first leg of the trip on this bike, I’ve found a few things I need to adjust. Front suspension, rear suspension, and I lost some baggage straps and my tent tarp. I should be able to get that straightened out in the next couple days.

Odometer reading: 6,703

Total elapsed miles: 3,057

  1. Hey! What idiot got their finger in the picture?!?! Besides that, I'm glad to have helped document part of the trip!
