A few days late, but figured would finish it up

Day 18

Total trip miles 3100

Well I got home in about 4.5 hours from Concord. When I left it was below freezing, not sure how much as I purposely refuse to keep a temp gauge (demoralizing). I was also quite sick so that made riding fun!! Not having my easy pass required me to go all backroads, though as the wind was intense, and the cold very bad was very much welcome. I did have heated gloves and a jacket not to mention 6 layers so the cold really was not an issue.

When sick, don't you notice that everything seems more difficult? Well, I just wanted to ride and seemed to hit EVERY red light. In the end I was beginning to just ride through as I didn't feel like stopping for an extended yellow.

I finally got home about 12:30pm and the first thing I did was strip the layers and veg in front of the wood stove for 45min with some tea!!! THe next thing I did was strip the bike of all the travel gear and make a big list of the things that need fixed/replaced. only 300-400 bucks worth...but although a lot of money, not really too bad considering.

So now, I am home, It's two days after I got home and as I'm recovering a bit more I'm looking forward to riding her on some familiar roads.

Till the next trip....
