I didn't get much sleep. Packed my bike, and left around 6:45am. The plan was to meet Mike and Mary from Buffalo at Joliet IL. Crossed the Delaware river on route 80 and what do you know.....traffic jam argh!!!!!
Well after penguin walking for a mile, a driver to the right of me compliments my bike. After he asks where I was going, I said "Yellowstone". He replies that is awesome, he was there years ago. He wishes me safe travels and I noticed the huge grin!!! Man that felt great!!!
After crossing the PA /'Ohio border I get off and call mike and Mary. To my surprise they are eating lunch aprox 100 miles west of me!!!
I put on my rain gear quickly and continue on without delay. Hit some rain, but that is not the issue....50mph speed limit....what? I'm sorry but I can't do that....no wonder I was passing everybody...because I was making great time.
Now while we were stopping along the way, we were txt each other to see where we were. Now being from Jersey, I was providing mile marker / exit # with the state I was in. I get "in Indiana"...!!?????!!!
Oh boy....lol. Anyway I arrive in Illinois look at my txt msgs and see "we are checking in at Lansing Il".......huh?????!!!!.... I just passed that 30 minutes ago???? How in the world did I pass mike and Mary??!!?? Lol
We talk and tell them "I'm off exit 149b"....So the waiting begins and finally we meet!!!!
It was great to see my friends again!!! The mods to Mary's Heritage looks so amazing!!! we ride together to Joliet and check in.....799.5 miles in 12 hours not bad to a start of an awesome bike trip!!!!!
