Well not such a good morning, I woke up to a swollen foot and my knee can hardly bear any weight. The pain is enough to make it nearly impossible to walk let alone ride today. Looks like a trip to a local hospital is in order, I’ll keep everyone posted. 

Today was luckily uneventful but very beautiful. Here some snaps of the second half of the day.

Sorry for no morning update I was doing maintenance on the bike and me.. Knocked out a little over a hundred miles so far today and another 150 to Trinidad, Colorado.. Here’s a few pics of this mornings ride.

Today was a really good day of riding barring the heat and sand. No offs were had and we arrived in Liberal, Kansas to no fan far.. Ha. For at least the next few days I’ll be riding solo again, but the camping should be fabulous in Colorado.. Till tomorrow here’s a few pic of the day.

The first stage of the ride this morning was absolutely beautiful..my buddy John posing nicely on the high plains.

Today’s ride shouldn’t be to horribly bad, man is to make it to Liberal, Kansas so John can do another TV news show for Havens Road. I welcome a short day to heal some bruises and clean and service the little xt before Colorado. Colorado over the weekend should be some beautiful riding and camping. Plan is to camp all the way through and into Moab, Utah early mid next week. Stay tuned.

I’ll keep its pretty simple since its Oklahoma. I had a little water spill, and the second was a 35 mph wash out on some huge ruts.. The little serow just wants to keep going after the both of us slide some 40ft, only thing that happened was the chain got jammed between the front sprocket and swingarm. We did a quick swingarm removal on the trail an d got everything sorted out. We had a few turnarounds because the rivers were 5ft or deeper in a few sections.  Here are a few pics of our day..thanks.

So today started off with a little news story about my new buddy John Maccormick and his charity ride for Havens Road.. We wrapped that up around 1030 am and hit the TAT and what a great day of riding it has been so far.. It’s been a little better for my confidence having someone els e to ride with just in case something were to happen again. Speaking of I did have a little unexpected swimming session across a pretty little washout and waterfall, but all ended well after the bike dried for about 5 minutes. Boy did that water ever feel so good on this 102 degree day.. More later.

Good morning everyone sorry for not  posting last night, I was in good company and great food. If you didn’t see my post earlier yesterday in riding for the next few days with John McCormack who is riding for Haven s Road and Easterseals. John so graciously ask me along for a couple of days and the hospitality has been great. We are in Fayetteville, Arkansas and headed to Claremore, Oklahoma to stay at his buddies cabin by a lake.. Here’s a couple of pictures from yesterday.

Today I’m meeting John McCormack in Oark, Arkansas to hit the trail with him and his team for a few days. John is riding for Havens Road a easterseals chari ty. Today will be a pretty short day to Fayetteville, Arkansas.
