Launch Day!!!!

KS-Saturday- The longest journey starts with a single step.   This one is no different, except that first step is a very high one, you forget how hard is it to swing a leg over a loaded motorbike,  I foresee one of us getting it wrong at some point and ending up in a tangled heap on the ground, and the other one reaching for a camera to capture the outcome.  I wish my first post on the blog could be something really cool,   but the reality of it is the day was a mixed bag of emotions.  The miles came easy, except for the first one.   Its always extremely hard to leave the love of your life at  home while you chase a different type of love.  Wife vs travel has me looking forward to Ecuador where she will join us for a while to explore a new country.  The rest of the day was filled with strong wind,  cloudy skies,   then eventually rain.   The bikes performed beautifully on the interstate at a comfortable 65mph.  After a couple hours of riding in the rain, with the temps dropping into the 40s,  we crossed the 300 mile mark,   and decided to call it a day.  No pictures from the road,   just imagine a very cold shower wearing a sleeping mask,    that sums it up.    Hopefully we can dry out most of our clothes before tomorrows colder trek.
