Workin' and Practicin'

The Chiefs have training camp - why can't we? We did some hot weather riding this weekend as a warm-up (pun intended) for The Big Ride in a couple of weeks. Saturday we attended the Western Kansas ALR picnic hosted by the Hays ALR. Had a good time, met lots of people, plus got to take part in a sendoff for a couple of local soldiers heading for the sandbox.

Decided to head from Hays to Wichita to see one of our sons, which meant 200 miles of interstate riding like we'll be doing on the run. We also were trying out our cooling vests. They work great, but dry out in a couple of hours. The other downside is that they do get the waist of your pants damp. Oh well. We're on a motorcycle, right?

Sunday we went for the weekly breakfast ride to Wilson, and afterwards went to Lucas and toured the Garden of Eden. Weird. You just have to see it for yourself. From there we looped around to Russell and home. A little over 400 miles for the two days, with temps in the mid 90's - no problem. Two weeks, three days and counting!
