Ready to begin. The time has come. For the record, the trip is going to be great but nothing to risk my health or safety over. So I do reserve the right to turn around at any point. Hehe. Anyhow I wanted to post a few final words before I take off. The PKMUL has come together. Not 100% as I had envisioned. I did have many last minute things come up, but since I am not a super seasoned long distance rider then I’ll chalk that up to experience. I mean I ride long distances, but not for weeks on end. You’d be amazed at how difficult it is to figure out how many days worth of cloths to pack. One pair of underwear is good for 4 days right?
I probably over packed, but I think that is my nature. I tend to over think and over plan. I know the bike inside and out at this point, so hopefully no major mechanical issues at this point. The ride will beat me down, so I probably won’t be able to do the distance I need to make the places I need to be.
A special thanks and shout out to my Dad. Once again I was shown his great talent and ability. Some of you know about the UPS problem has ran into. Anyhow, Dad was able to cut a windshield down for me at a moment’s notice to take the place of the one I am still waiting on. This will allow me to actually leave, a day late, but hit the road. Since UPS broke their contact to deliver the product by an agreed upon time, and the reason it was late was their fault… can I ask them to provide a day of my life back? Anyhow moving on…
Since I am meeting a friend in Anchorage, I have to be there by July 3rd. He fly’s in that evening. Then I have to be in Nashville by July 17th. That is when Dad is meeting me. So overall as long as I can keep this simple timeline, I should be good to go. It’s fun to start with lofty aspirations, you never know how high you can jump until you start trying. Follow along as I start this adventure…
