This morning was cloudy overcast and knowing full-well what that probably meant I donned my entire outfit
of rain gear, including the Knox Cold Killer hood. That hood is very re-mindful
of the ones you see in movies where there’s an ax-man lopping off heads. Kind
of grisly looking but the thing really works at keeping the cold at bay, probably has
something to do with all the high-tech materials it’s made of.
Anyway I smoked off down the highway cruising along at 70 mph and
smiling whenever I spotted a state trooper. They’ll generally ignore you if
you’re doing no more than 6 mph over the posted limit so I tend to observe that.
The weather continued to be cloudy and no rain occurred which I was thankful
for.

| Boy oh boy do I love sunshine! |
I took my usual route home via the Drain exit and by the time I
reached Scottsburg the sun had been in full bloom for quite awhile. Pulling
over I called Linda to see what it was like at home and she said it was sunny
and beautiful. Yippee! I could take my cumbersome gear off and get comfortable
for the rest of the ride.
I arrived home around 11:30 am and had no sooner unloaded my gear
when I got a call from Chuck Bruce asking if I was up for a short ride, maybe
go get a hamburger? And the answer was…yah, sure, you betcha! Only this time I
left Red Girl home and rode Red Dog.
Here's the odometer showing the ending mileage, a pitiful 1136 miles overall. That's not much of a showing for a 4-day ride, probably the least I've done so far. Bummer! I hope I can squeeze in a longer one when the weather gets better.
That'll have to do it for now though, sometimes you just have to fall back and regroup.
