Two weeks to go!


Boy time flies! This time two weeks from now, I should already be posting about my first rides on the beach, hopefully having shared it with several people.

Time flies when you get to the two week mark. :wee:

I hear your pain Glen. I've only had a kite up once all winter. I got a BKK AQR and hooked up to a kite for just long enough to make sure it worked... total distance of less than a mile since fall WBB.

Let's see...
16 more hours commuting
63 more hours of work
7 more days of work
12 more sleeps!

Gonna have to go shake the cobwebs out of my buggy.



Go ahead... tell me to "go fly a kite!" Please!

I might just have to stay awake until next week. It's just not here fast enough!
Weather seems to be cooperating too :wee:

its still snowing all over the mid west, doesnt look good for a cross country drive. why do they call it the mid west? they must think the east coast is the center of the universe.

Jeff, I know that dodge can handle the snow. We are actually slated to see some white stuff Thursday into Friday. Won't be much but it will be cold. Then it's over, warm days ahead into most of next week. The beaches will be ready to ride! there actually is a place about a half an hour from here that is claimed to be the center of the universe. Big sign out front and everything, it's actually about six houses down from Rian:lol:

I was working on a bit of sight seeing this time. Last time I drove it was leave Seattle Thursday night and pull into the Shalimar late Sunday afternoon. Didn't see a lot of anything but bug guts and black top. With WBB being so late this winter, things will look much warmer in the fall. Besides, I don't miss a few of you yet.:P
I will live vicariously through you guys with your pictures and videos, so don't hold back.
For the rest of you guys going, I miss you already.
If I get a tad emotional about not going, I will go smell my 5.5m I forgot to clean before I came home.

Winds are definitely on track to be an awesome week. Even if we get a little bit of a SSE wind, it will be incredible. Winds haven't been lower than 20+ here for almost two weeks
