Just to say we were there.
Lars and I took off for Tioga Road yesterday to get as far out it as we could. This was to be the last day it is open this season, and ends the longest run of days Tioga Road has been open since 1933, when they started keeping records.
With a late start, we decided to stop, make coffee then turn around at Olmstead Point. The following pictures were taken there.
Riding the Dragon
After 10 days, 9 of which were riding we managed to accomplish a few things. First, we did indeed ride from Pacific Beach in San Diego to Jacksonville Beach, Florida in less than 50 hours. Less that 47 actually, but who’s counting.
The following days were spent reeling in the miles on our various bikes in upwards of 700 miles on two of those days. But we did manage to get in some fun roads and scenery and even a night out in Nashville to boot!
The GPS recorded distance was 6,400 miles making the trip and average of 640 miles per day. Except that day 2 was 1,300 and day 3 was 1,100. Those days, of course, made up for the 350, and 410 mile days in the east.
We left San Diego at 5 AM Monday morning and rode straight through to San Antonio TX. Then took off out of there and arrived in Jacksonville Beach at 4:55 local time Wednesday morning.
