she was so that&#8217;s what we did.\u00a0 It started out just fine, about 5 miles up the freeway then to A1A for another 5 or so then 10 miles back on the freeway.\u00a0 She is a good rider and even handled the rain quite well.\u00a0 That&#8217;s right &#8211; on our way from A1A back to the freeway we got rained on.\u00a0 Now a downpour but we were definitely wet and going to stay that way for a while.\u00a0 Phil had Eggs Benedict and home fries ready when we got back to the house and it was GOOOD.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-T5LwNKdtyOs\/T9Fh1cPayOI\/AAAAAAAAAfo\/yAdo3S-T2YM\/s1600\/Daytona.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-T5LwNKdtyOs\/T9Fh1cPayOI\/AAAAAAAAAfo\/yAdo3S-T2YM\/s400\/Daytona.jpg\" width=\"400\"><\/a>I left and planned to slab it (take the interstate) until I got north of Daytona then move over to A1A and go up the coast.\u00a0 When I got to Daytona I called my nieces up in Atlanta to see what was going on up there and they said that they were leaving tomorrow morning for California then Vegas but if I could get there today&#8230;.\u00a0 Okay, that makes this a fairly long day as far as miles go so time to get back on the slab.\u00a0 I was still a little wet from this morning&#8217;s ride so I wasn&#8217;t all that worried about the dark cloud just to the north when I hopped on I-95.\u00a0 I toyed with the idea of putting on the rain gear but decided against it (I&#8217;d like to have that one back).\u00a0 I have never been on a bike in that much rain.\u00a0 It only rained for about 10 miles but my boots couldn&#8217;t have been wetter if I&#8217;d waded knee deep into the swimming pool!!\u00a0 A few miles down the road I pulled over to dry the inside of my sunglasses off so I could see (they were so much water outside and in while it was raining that I had to take them off to see).<\/p>\n<p>After that it was mostly dry on I-95 and I kinda dried out (not the boots though).\u00a0 And &#8211; for all the Florida folks 95 is the number of the Interstate &#8211; NOT the speed limit.\u00a0 The speed limit on that stretch of road is 70 and if you&#8217;re not going 80 the simi trucks will run you off the road.\u00a0 You&#8217;re safe at 85 but don&#8217;t be in the fast lane.<\/p>\n<p>After I got to Jacksonville I picked a secondary road to get to Newnan and got rained on again for about 50 miles (guess my boots are never going to dry out today).\u00a0 Next time I see rain coming I&#8217;ll at least put my gators on (they cover my boots and up to my knees).\u00a0 Back on the slab to make sure I was there in time for dinner.\u00a0 Cracker Barrel with 4 adults and 6 children (all but one between 7 and 12 months &#8211; crazy&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Back to Sara&#8217;s apartment where we hung out for a little while before packing it in for the night.<\/p>\n<div>\u00a0Click <a href=\"http:\/\/share.findmespot.com\/shared\/faces\/viewspots.jsp?glId=0osKkUuuu7LlNoDKo8zUsFmO9FgQtAhO8\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to track my progress.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a great afternoon\/evening with my friends.\u00a0 While talking last night Phil reminded me that Shelley is still waiting for that motorcycle ride that I promised her so long ago when they still lived in the L.A. area.\u00a0 So, I &hellip;
