This was going to be the trip where the bike rolled over 80,000 miles. I had thought I might've made it on the Easter ride, but I was about 20 miles short and didn't want to just ride the bike to pound out those 20 miles. This trip was almost going to be a carbon... Continue Reading →
Rolling Home – 226 Miles
