Pensive pose of the day. Trying to guess what the rain is gonna do as we pass through Amarillo, Texas. #roninride

Almost There!



It finally happened today.  My Dad, Steve, and I have all come together for the remainder of the trip to Sturgis.

It was really awesome seeing Steve come rumbling in as we were waiting on a rainy Amarillo, Texas morning.  Dad and I had just come through about 20 miles of a complete downpour and were trying to get out of out rain gear.

As Steve pulled up he was drenched.  He had just spent about 100 miles in the same downpour.  What a mess!

We decided to eat an early lunch and wait the rain out.  It was a perfect idea.  We ate and as we left Amarillo, skies began to clear.  By the time we entered into southern Colorado it had become a beautiful high desert day.

The further north we rode the more motorcycles we have seen.  As we sit here in our hotel in Lamar, Colorado, there is a constant stream of motorcycles heading north toward Sturgis.

Tomorrow will be our turn to make our triumphant entry into the little town of Sturgis.  There is expected to be 1,000,000 people there this week, nearly double the normal population of a Sturgis rally.  It’s going to be a zoo, but we are all really excited about seeing it all unfold.

So, I thought I’d try something a little different today… while riding I have a few songs jammed in my head.  Before I share them with you, and the reasons why I think I have this playlist going in my over active brain, I want to know what you think.

What songs or music do you listen to on a road trip?  Why?  If you’d be so bold, leave a comment and let me know your thought on this.

Coming tomorrow… report and first photos from Sturgis from three Sturgis virgins!
Ride safe out there!
