64 days to the Ride

I got in about 70 miles today in a combination of country and city rush hour traffic. I got to tell you that driving in rush hour on a Friday in Metro Detroit is not my idea of fun. I think we have more idiots per square mile than any place on earth. But, when you get out to the countryside in the hills, lakes and curves life takes on a whole new perspective and the deep roar of the exhaust and the wind in your face takes over and life is good.
Temps here in Michigan got up over 80F so it was a light jacket and t-shirt weather. Can't wait for the next two months to pass by so we can get this show on the road.
The t-shirts will be ordered over the weekend and I will notify each of you by e-mail what the cost is. Then just wait until you get here to make your donation. My wife tells me I'm "tighter than a tick" and to stop whining. Anyway, we are good to go and the next step is to plan our "getting underway dinner" and then the OH DARK UGLY breakfast. My neighbors (all of them envious) will show up at the cook out so I expect each of you to embellish all stories of your history and what this trip is all about. Anyone caught telling the truth goes on mess cooking for the the entire trip. McManus has a free pass because as a journalist he is expected to always tell the truth. ("Did I just write that?")
Tomorrow we tear another page off the calendar and move in May; so long April you've provided some good riding. Blue; my daughter wants to know if you are bringing your bike. She also wants a Koala but I told her they are an Australian national treasure and not allowed to leave the country. You, on the other hand, have permission to leave.
Can you tell I'm slightly "pissed?"
LOL
Cheers mates; let's ride
