Day 2…Brrrr, it’s Hot!

photophoto2photo3

Yesterday was a day of extremes.  We started the day out a 48 degrees and rode the Mohave at 108 degrees.  These pictures were taken when we stopped to take off all our cold weather gear, we had no idea what we were in for.  We did make it all the way to Bakersfield, CA – tiered, hot and grumpy!  I-40 was very smooth and fast.

Dad and I  have ridden over 1500 miles in last two days and I’ve ridden over 2000 in the last 3 days.  The bikes are amazing – smooth, fast and comfortable…problem free so far.  Highlight of the day?…Dad smoked a corvette on I-40.  He amazes me, at 72 he still has the heart and enthusiasm of an 18 year old.  ;0)

Today we head to the Sequoia National Forrest to see the largest trees on earth…about a 2 hour ride from Bakersfield.

Thanks for all the prayers, keep the comments coming.  Dad and I enjoy reading your comments at the end of each day.
