Left the house in a downpour that would drown a frog. Waited
in traffic for 20mins stopped while everyone rubbernecked
the wreck in the opposite lane.

Made it here (atl), got checked in, and decided to grab a beverage.

Should be at IAH by 5

Caught mysefl trying to drift off to sleep
so I called it a night at Beaumont. I've worked 16 hours in the last
24 and had about 3 hours sleep...

I can't get mobile photobucket to work, so
the ics will have to wait until I get back.

Get some good rest, it'll make tomorrow a lot more fun, and safer to boot.

Thanks guys/ gals!

Stopped in Baton Rouge at Herbert cycles for a break

Bike has been flawless.... Up ultil I notoced the right side mirror was hanging by a thread.
Thought it would make it here ...... Fell off 4 miles before I got here. Traffic was too bad
to attempt a retrieve, so I'll need to source a new/ used one ( right side if anyone knows where one might be).

Anyway, quick lunch and I'll be back on the road.

Averaging 85 mph bike is getting 43 mpg

Passing mobile Al.

I'm going to stop in Ft Walton beach tonight.

No rain so far, just a 5 min drizzle. The stock seat .......SUCKS!
Even with a pair of cycling shorts on, I'm having to stand up every 15 miles or so cause my ass goes numb.

Going to order a seat in the Am
