Then ran into the first long dirt road on day two. One brief lapse in concentration had me going down easily in a soft dust sand patch. It seemed like a easy down, but my shin hit something on the scooter or in the road and began swelling and bruising quickly. I rode to a grocery store, then called for Ken to come pick me up. I intended to pick up the Run the next day but the leg was swollen and sore. So I rode with Ken for two days until it was decided that I needed help, so he dropped me off at the Emergency Room in Durango. <br /><br />I got in a great 1500 mile ride along the Pacific Coast from Seattle to Morro Bay, but the Cannonball turned out to be a disappointment. I would have loved to complete every mile.Bill Leutholdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344154257118432221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-66391669584992020952018-04-22T07:30:34.737-04:002018-04-22T07:30:34.737-04:00I wouldn’t bet on me.

Gonzo will probably put the 2T oil in the gasoline at every stop this year. And, as is usual, a new rider will have a great ride on a competitive scooter and take the prize. I am hoping for a top five while riding the entire route as posted.

I didn't fully appreciate the context.<br /><br />My money's on you. Picking up the GT200 you left in Seattle, I imagine?<br /><br />You guys know how to live. I feel privileged and truly indebted to you two and to Jim for affording me a frame of reference for your ride to Perry, and west along the Gulf coast.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-57042906177194875822018-04-20T15:21:33.708-04:002018-04-20T15:21:33.708-04:00Thank you David for promoting the big ride coming ...Thank you David for promoting the big ride coming in just over a month now. <br /><br />I just returned from a send off for Ken. He left St. Pete yesterday heading north. I rode from Jacksonville to meet up with him in Perry. From there we rode along the Gulf coast to Port St. Joe, where we stayed at a nice hotel downtown. This morning we left in different directions as he heads to California while I went home to complete some projects so I can fly to Seattle on May 17. <br /><br />The Cannonball begins May 26th. It will be the most grueling yet, covering 3900 miles in 10 days. I hope everyone follows our little adventure on our respective blogs and MV. Each will be filled with the goings on along the way.Bill Leutholdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344154257118432221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-32901133400777773722018-04-20T08:27:51.900-04:002018-04-20T08:27:51.900-04:00May the roads be smooth, the the weather serene, a...May the roads be smooth, the the weather serene, and the food and drink sublime for these guys as they rumble across the landscape on their scoots. This feat of human endurance needs more acknowledgement in the media than it gets. A Yammie C3 scoot participated one year. So proud of the little scooter.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379173150677488575noreply@blogger.com
