2nd Shake-Down ride a success

95 more shake-down miles using the old "Huntington-County 140 Bicycle Challenge" South route.

The YAK has a new  hitching system (version 2) which performed flawlessly.

"luck" or "divine intervention"

With a stroke of "luck" and/or "divine intervention" Alan and Colleen Pflieger saw Nick's XR650 in the church parking lot and asked Nick about it. Turns out Alan and  Colleen are planning a vacation in the Denver area around the same time as us. They actually CHANGED their vacation dates to match with ours so they would be available to haul our 1,500 pounds of bikes and gear OUT and BACK!!! 

We call this "divine intervention"!!!

PS. This arrangement allows us to FLY out instead of haul the bikes, which gives us at least 2 more days or riding in the mountains.... SWEEET!!!


THANKS Alan and Colleen!!!!!!
