They had a good send off this morning.  Buzz, Ken, Randy, and I all wished them well!

That must be why they lost so much time in Paducah.

Looks like Karla forgot to turn on her SPOT ... Allen's SPOT shows them almost in Iowa

Yes. looks like she did.
The area they are into now is some of the flattest, most boringest riding I have ever done in my life.

Just glad the lever was the only issue for Day 1.

Group shot before departure:




Not to make light of their troubles, this sticker is one of my favorites Glenn has come up with.  He presented it to Al and it was promptly installed.






GLHF Everyone.

How do you turn Allen's Spot on. I have Karla's but it's off.

Nope. Paducah was an hour and a half at Steak 'n Shake  :o

The clutch lever was about two miles out from camp. Tony gave me a push and I limped in to camp in 1st and 2nd gear. Just happened to have a spare in my pack :D
But only ONE spare so no more drops for me. I guess the head banging slip in the shower won't count since the bike wasn't there :)

Wear your helmet in the shower next time  :)

If I was in your shoes, I'd be looking for another lever just in case.  Maybe order one and have it delivered to a future stop or campground.
