Hi, All,
If you're getting this mail, then, for some reason, I think you might be interested in following my next trip. If I'm wrong about that, just respond and I take you off the next trip list. :) Please send to anyone else you think might be interested, I know I obscured the recipient list, so you'll have to guess. :)
Ok, so this time 'round I'm doing my 1st multiday rally. Ok, so the real 1st rally was, like, 36 hours, but I'm not counting that even though it's technically longer than a day. This one is 5 days and anything East of the Mississippi is fair game. beastintheeast.org
Now, i'm competitive, personally, but realistically, i haven't got a chance in hades with the group in riding with. :) Some of them have spent more for equipment for their bikes, than I spent on my house. There is a 'hopeless' class on some rallies, but that's for 45 year old Nortons or 125cc scooters, etc. Folks may laugh at them, but it comes with a certain amount of respect for the cajones required to make a serious attempt on something like that. My bike is a 2010 cruiser with bags. I'll have a gps and my spot tracker. I might get laughed at...sans respect. No, not really, but you know how we humans are... sometimes, I know not very often, but just sometimes, we're judgemental. Every once in a while we see something that doesn't fit our expectations and the voice in your head goes, "pfft, yeah, right." sometimes you might even say it out loud. That's about where I think I am. :)
So, while I'll still put several thousand miles on the bike and do my damnedest not to be bottom 5 (again), there's a certain freedom to riding with no expectation of winning. And that's about where I think I am, too.
So, I'll be leaving today, hopefully, to head to Georgia for the start.

I still haven't caught up from the last trip, so i have no idea if I'll post anything till i'm back, but there you go.

ok, so it's 230 and i haven't left yet, so I probably missed some folks...forward away!
My first posts will probably be 'what I forgot to pack'. :)
Thank you for your support!! :D joanne
