Woke up to a beautiful day, temp in the high 40's sunny sky very little traffic on the road, perfect day to ride.
As we prepared to leave an older couple came out of a room near us and waved, they were obviously headed for breakfast near the office. As the wife tried to walk on the husband stopped her and stood still for about two minutes as we suited up and started the bikes. Driving off the husband gave us another wave and a thumbs up, great start to my day. It does make you wonder though was he reliving things he also did in his younger days or wishing he had...I hope the former.
Headed down to road, sun at my back, wind in my face, 96 cubic inches under me, a good friend riding with me and all was right with the world.
The day couldn't stay that nice and towards afternoon we picked up a lot of wind making it a more difficult ride. Arriving in Flagstaff found out there was a shortage of motel rooms due to NAU graduation. We made the decision to keep heading south and ended up stopped for the night at a Days Inn in Prescott Valley. The motel had the requirements met, government discount, hot tub, Denny's next door, once again all was right with the world.
We will make the Retirees breakfast in the morning before turning and making the ride home to stay for a while.
Stats for today include over 700 miles and two time zone changes, stopped at about 6:30 local which was 8:30pm Amarillo.
