have just done longest ride of my life, dawn until dusk, 12 hours in total, about 9 1/2 actually on the bike, 137 miles at 14.6 mph average, my legs are made out of heart muscle now, they just keep on pumping away without getting tired, i could have kept going, did a sprint finish, think i could have kept riding as long as i could stay awake, it was the sort of ride you dream about, man was it good to see the motel though
have done about 500 miles total now, saw the gulf of mexico at keaton beach at lunchtime, now am in a small town called Medart, after riding for 50 miles trying to find a motel as didn't fancy camping in the swamp, it's about 100 miles east of panama city
have seen a gator, an owl and some sort of wild dog thing that went bounding across the road in front of me today
after riding in 35 degrees heat i woke up today to freezing temperatures and had to put all my winter gear on until lunchtime, when i had to take it all off again
right, that's it, just a quick update as gotta go get lots of hot food, the bacon cheeseburger, fries and coke i had for lunch lasted for about 3 hours on the bike, since then have been grazing on snack bars, which is no way to live
things are going great, really enjoying it, and looking forwards to meeting Brandon in Morgan City in about a week
laters people
