Pretty uneventful day. After breakfast, a quick check of the bikes showed my tires to be a little low. We both carry air pumps, and were excited to try them out. A coin toss decided that we would use Todt's. It worked brilliantly.
Like I said, nothing really to report, the weather was beautiful, the miles just flew by, and people on I-5 still insist on driving in the left lane, not moving to the right to allow passing.
We stopped for lunch at Andersen's Pea Soup. I sent Julie a text, letting her know this was our last stop before we parted ways. Ever compassionate, she sent this reply, "Awwwe..... Suck that tear back into your eyehole little fella!"
At the I-5 I-580 split we waved goodbye, and our trip together was over. I rode the rest of the way home thinking about what an awesome adventure it had been. I wondered how I would remember everything that had happened along the way, and decided to write this blog. I know it has been a bit wordy, and I thank you for bearing with me. I also know my photography was painfully bad, I promise to do better next time.
Arriving home, I got the hero's welcome from my bride, and my dog. Todt and I exchanged texts to confirm our safe arrivals, and he let me know Sunny and Bill made it too.
The next day Todt sent out this email:
Here are the GPS stats for Scotty and me.

Overall average 62 MPH

I set to work on this blog, and a little trophy for four of us. Just wanted a little remembrance for us. So I designed this sticker.
