Friday morning, 7 am, 44 degrees…yikes. In packing for our trip yesterday we added critical items such as a coffee machine, coffee, peanuts and crunchy bars. The crappy Motel 6 room is full of our stuff. But it was grand this morning to have good coffee! On the plus side, the motel offers Fox News ;)
We will get together about 9 to get registered. Jack Stein (supreme organizer) said it was too cold to ride early so we will mill around.
Photos are in reverse order, will fix someday, maybe ;)
Friday pm update. The ride was about 160 miles total, intermittent windy sections (25 mph winds with gusts to 40, then some sections without wind)…8 bikes, one pickup, 11 total people. Two bikes broke down within minutes of leaving the motel so they were on a trailer for the day. Great ride overall. Beatty into the park, through Furnace Creek for gas and a dreadful meal at great expense (carrying on the Furnace Creek tradition of dreadful expensive food), then to Badwater, then north through Furnace Creek again, Beatty Junction and on to the Motel. We skipped the group dinner and stayed in the room, watched tv and got a good nights sleep. Temperature range for the day was 44 in Beatty at 8 am (we left about 10), to 91 in Badwater.
