I love this stuff!!

On the plane to Louisville i wrote a note and asked the Waitress, I mean Stewardess, I mean Hostess to give to the Pilot. On the note i asked them to regonize the 9 TDK riders on our plane. He did a wonderful job and everyone clapped. I love when people do what i tell them and then i get a standing ovation. It makes me feel like a SuperModel.

We got all the bikes put together and headed down for dinner. I drank mine. I paid for it on the ride.

We missed all the rain, and rode 102 miles. Kentucky is actual more than hillbillies i found out. Its rolling hills and pristine blacktop. We did see our occasional HillJack especially when i stopped at a a General Store about mile 80. I asked to use the bathroom and they said sure, you can go out back. OUT BACK? What am I a fucking hunting dog? I took them up on their offer and crapped out back by the garbage cans. HA! I showed you yellowhammers.

I ended up rolling 30 miles with an old freind from 2006, Peg Grabber and a new friend Sue Ahrens. They both told me that I was a nice guy with a splash of dick! If they only new what the rest of us know. You know, my wife told me a few weeks ago that i was lucky that i was so funny or she would have left me a long time ago. We played One Truth One Lie for about 20 miles. I learned some stuff about them that i promised not to repeat. They dont know who they are dealing with. I always tell the stories no matter what. Stay tuned and i will post one.

There were at least 15 dogs on this leg today. One was an Albino Cujo. He must have been 160 LBs and fast as hell. I barely outsprinted all of them but it was not fun. I am going out and getting a hand gun. I found out at the General Store that i could get a gun in 15 minutes if i wanted one. Is this another country? Why is this legal?

A real nice 1.8 mile climb at about 6% to get the blood flowing was the only real test of the day an we rolled in to Little Jimmy (the beer cooler named after our Jim Cashmore from last years ride) he really knows how to hydrate. Jimmy One More!

Off to shower, drink only a few beers and prepare for day 2. I really missed so many of these people. They worked hard today and are out here for the cause. they raised a lot of money and did something many people dont do. Get off their asses and do something. Thanks you guys, you make it look easy.
