Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2015
Departure: Hammond, Indiana
Destination: Cleveland, Ohio
Miles: 375 slow miles
CONVOY AHOY!
After 2 hours and $20 in tolls....per bike
After 150 semi-trucks per ten miles
Which equals to 2500 Semi-Trucks the whole time on I90
We said,
"Oh Well......."
We changed our route and headed off on Highway 20 through Ohio
The biggest challenge is time.
Maximum speed was 55 mph today
Every 25 miles there would be a town and that would slow us down even more
And 6:00 am used to be 4:00 am at home
and 8:00 pm at home is really 10:00 pm here (bedtime)
"Oh Well....."
It was beautiful farmland and very picturesque
and we don't mind being on our bikes for 10 hours a day!

| "Oh Well" ....it does have "Statler" in the name and anything to do with The Statler Brothers just appeals to Grandpa |
DOWN TOWN CLEVELAND, OHIO
BIG PROBLEM SOLVED
6 foot 4 inch body frame...
On a Kawasaki Vulcan 900....
Posed a little bit of dis-comfort;
When your legs are constantly bent and there is no way to stretch out
all of your weight falls on your tail bone
so......
Wal-Mart to the rescue
Blow-up neck pillow
Tail-bone pad
Raised that 6'4" frame up about 3"
Just enough to take the pressure off
Happy Day! Happy 17-year old!
Ready for some more 500 mile days
More VIDEOS To Come
(must have a computer at the motel to edit videos)
Not happening
"Oh well...."
