I was able to make it 900 miles to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Of course this wasn’t without incident. I have a very uneasy feeling about the bike. So why is that? My gas mileage is horrible. I was getting about 40 MPG, now I am getting about 20 MPG, but I can’t find a reason for this.
A few parts fell off too, that was expected, but the MPG part is the killer. Basically I don’t have enough gas to make certain legs of the trip. So what should I do? Do I continue? Do I turn around and go home? What is the right thing to do?
I’ve spent the better part of the evening on the phone with my support team, Dad and Brandi to try and make sense of what the next step should be. From this point on, there are aspects of the journey where I will be even more remote so we have to make the right decision. However… what is the right decision?
So if you were 1000 miles home and things just didn’t make sense, would you continue or limp home? Would I have failed the trip? I think I’ll sleep on this one, and ask for some prayerful guidance.
