Two more days remain. Actually three if you count the ride back home on Sunday - 184 miles.Getting out of St. Louis was pretty easy. Lots of fog on the east side of the Mississippi River. After that, it warmed up quickly. I rode off & on with "Reno Bob" today. He is a funny dude, retired.
The Cincinnati vintage guys road westward and met up with the vintage guys and gave them a proper escort into town tonight. That was really great of them. I know Rocket, Roy and Kieran probably appreciated the company.
Not sure if we have internet tomorrow night at the hotel. We're staying in a small West Virginia/Maryland town - middle of no where. If not I will post after arriving in Ocean City.
All the states today where jumping on the Lincoln thing. Welcome to Illinois said "Welcome to the Land of Lincoln" - then Indiana said something like "Lincoln Went to School Here" - then Kentucky said "Birth Place of Lincoln".
I got slightly lost trying to avoid road construction, the leg was totally a waste so I stopped for a Root Beer and Hamburger. A really nice old lady bought me lunch at Mason's Root Beer stand. I told her I would keep the the Coke-A-Cola cup in my front rack for good luck for the rest of the ride. We'll see how long it lasts. She said she would pray for me.
I rolled the Vespa into the room tonight again - so no one takes it. Not the best of neighborhoods. Someone drove their car into a gas pump. I got drunk at dinner and was spouting off political rants. Should keep my mouth shut.
Joel is in second place now. I am really cheering for him. Go East Coast!
Tomorrow is 320 Miles. Saturday 310 Miles.
