Photos taken between Raleigh, NC and Miami, FL.
This was Erik’s longest day of riding clocking in at 799 miles.
The upside is that he was joined by his wife Kathryn. They enjoyed some fresh Georgia peaches on their long haul to Miami.
Friends of the Bike: Jessica and kids Friends of mine in North Carolina. I loved being able to give the kids their first motorcycle ride. They asked if next time I visit if I will bring my bike again, I told them to come out to Boise and then they can have another ride (and will go out on a boat too!)!
Day 11 Miles
798.9 miles!
Yes, this is a record breaking day for me on the trip - beating out the long haul we did from Texas to St. Louis.
The good news is that even though I covered more miles, I was able to do it more efficiently and checked into my hotel shortly after 11pm (opposed to 2am like St. Louis).
My wife flew out and met me in the Raliegh, NC area to join me for the Key West, FL corner “check-in”. This was her first day riding with me and she sure is feeling the wear on the body (particularly the rear end) after riding from morning to night.
Looking forward to hitting the Florida Keys tomorrow!
Note: These are my miles since I was separated from the group as I broke away to meet up with my wife and visit with friends. Others in the group will have different miles/end points for this day.
Miami
We are all in Miami (or the greater Miami area).
Tomorrow we will ride to Key West and “check-in” to our 2nd of the 4 “corners”.
We will then ride back up to the Miami area and stay there another night before making our way to Washington state.
This will be the first time since the trip started that I will get to sleep in the same bed two nights in a row. And as an added bonus my wife is in that bed with me as she flew to the East coast to meet up with me and do the Florida Keys check-in.
It will be nice to not have to pack up my bike in the morning.
