[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1414858, member: 18625"] Jax dinner was great ! I was able to see many riders/friends and enjoy the gathering. It was over too quickly and Dan and I were soon on the road slugging out another BBG. The ride and route developed in the parking lot right before we departed. The route was basically I-10 west to just beyond Baton Rouge, LA, then back to Jax and south down I-95 home. The bad: Traffic congestions Accidents/Delays Really wasn't mentally prepared for this ride Hit the half way point almost an hour and a half behind normal time Had to ride Baton Rouge during rush hour, then turn around and navigate it again the other direction. Forgot to turn my SPOT on for the first couple hours Saw a first… a semi trailer cut into 3 pieces. The good: I had a friend to ride with. My 18.5k rear tire grew more tread during the ride We made it (#14 for the year in the books) Solved the last fuel stop issue and finally found a good stop. My rear tire now has 20,271 miles on it and I will attempt 2 more BBGs with the same tire again. (A record for my rear tire) [/QUOTE]
