Home at last!

Day 9 -  In case you were curious, we did make it home on Saturday.  We left Winnemucca early to take advantage of the relatively cool temps.  We shot into Reno, grabbed a coffee and then headed up over the hill. When we hit Sacramento, we faced a huge traffic jam.  There was not an apparent cause as is usually the case.  Faced with 110 degree temperatures, we split lanes to keep moving so the engines would remain relatively cool.  Remember, they only cool by air flow.  Sitting still in extreme heat is not good for the engines or the riders.  Splitting lanes is hairy to say the least.  Most people move aside to let you by while others pinch you off as they hate to see someone else move when they can't.  Finally we were free of the traffic and hammered it the rest of the way home.

It is great to be back home!  We all had a great vacation, a great ride and enjoyed our friends.  Now whenever asked, we can say "we rode ours"... for a total of 3,600 miles!

See you on the road, but not too soon.  :)
