September 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thank you Clint.

 

Wow Dale ! Thats a beautiful pic . Glad you made the trek safely. Takes alot of will and endurance to complete such a journey. After 2 kms on my bike I'm winded . Did you have any mechanical problems or did the bike hold up ok?

 

Took me a few shaves and a few different blades to get adjusted, but I'm loving it now!

 

You mean smelling like a MAN!
But, jokes aside, I get more damp earth and tobacco than anything.

 

I'm mighty hopeful

 

Thank you, Blair!

 

Wonderful setup and shave, Patrick!

 

Wow, that's beautiful, Dale! Congratulations!

 

Wonderful photo and shave! May I ask your first name? We use those a lot in our posts.

Great avatar. What a terrific character in a fine story that was acted so well by Robert Duvall.

 

Beautiful photo, Blair!

 

Thanks. I have been riding off and on for the last 30 years. When I got back on the bike in late April, I was winded after a mile. It just comes down to managing discomfort and keeping yourself fed and hydrated. I had no mechanical issues with it thankfully. I did a full tune on my bike before I went. Loaded down, the bike was just over 55lbs. Heres Cecil at the finish line.

 

Someone on here is crazy enough to give this a run. What's the worst that could happen?

 

The ride is very impressive Dale. You should be proud of yourself

 

Sure, my name's Daniel.
Robert Duvall did a terrific job, as well as the rest of the cast. The novel is fantastic too.

 

Terrific write up, Joseph!

 

Great picture, Terry!

 

Wonderful black and white pic, Clint!

 

Thanks Bill!

Nice shave, Joe!

 

I missed something along the way......apologies, just point me to the post if you outlined this before. Was this a supported (paid) ride? Group ride? Or, just Out 'n Back (alone)? Hard to tell from your bike image (awesome setup and rig!), did you tent it? CC it (hotels)? Any way you look at it, I'm jealous. Very cool.
