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!
