I have cancelled my annual 3-4 week road trips for the last 3 years. This year was also not going to happen due to fuel, motel, meal expense. I changed my mind. I will be 75 in a few weeks and decided I will not sit home another summer. It's time to just do it. This may be the last time I am physically capable of doing a 4-5,000 mile road trip. I have family up north that I have never met, and I want to meet them before I check out of this lifetime. So, I'm going to bite the financial bullet and go. Going to leave the desert S.W. on July 28th and head north. Will be riding solo but I've done that many times in the past. The trike is serviced and has new tires. As I write this, the trike sits with its big boy cover on but is anxious to go. The road is loudly calling me. Planning on doing about 4,000 miles and be back home towards the end of August. I am already mentally packing..... Jim
