[QUOTE="BluenoseFJR, post: 1399836, member: 88759"] Thanks everyone for all the support. Sorry for taking so long for the epilog. I went straight home and to bed, and slept through to just after 7am (this is the longest un-interrupted sleep I have had in years!). Then my pager went off and I had to go put out a car fire. In my still exhausted state, that was a challenge. Family time since then and spotty internet at home mean I just now got to read all your posts. I find it pretty cool that you all followed along and speculated on my stops. I made it with about 20 minutes or so to spare. My gas stops took much longer than they should have, but there always seemed to be something to that needed attention (phone, Sena, GPS, etc.). The ride was hard, but I am certainly glad I did it. It is the next step up the ladder for distance, so I guess next I will have to try some sort of coast to coast ride. That will likely have to wait a few years though. Family and work make it difficult to get away for more than a day at a time on my own. When the kids are a little older maybe I can try a Trans Canada Gold. I may try to write up a little ride report in the next few days to describe my trip. No pics though, there was no time for that. Thanks again for following along! [/QUOTE]
