As usual, I got a late start. Part of it was finishing packing and trying to get everything loaded on the bike for the first time. The other part was just not wanting to leave Alex.
I eventually got on the road and made my first stop at Comet in Milwauakee. I had a great breakfast with delicious food and wonderful company provided by Adam and Val. The breakfast bowl kept me warm and satisfied all the way to Duluth. In return for their hospitality, I promised to do some advertising along my trip by placing some Comet stickers on my bike.
It was a very nice day to be riding, but as I got further north, it got cooler and cooler. By the time I was riding along Lake Superior, I had already added two layers under my jacket and had turned on the heated grips.
After what ended up being closer to 560 miles, I made it to Karen and Dan's. I had a wonderful enchilada dinner and was able to catch up on a lot of family events.
On Sunday we will meet up with Ellen and Kathy and David in Two Harbors. Weather permitting I will ride there, though I may get a little wet.

:-( Honey and I miss you! It has been a wild and crazy two days here. There will be plenty of MTV today to recover from a busy Saturday, the Overnight walk, and transporting the MINI roof box alone today. (Necessity truly is the mother of invention.)
Honey keeps looking for you. I found her sniffing your sneakers this a.m. and making a chorus of noises.
Stay dry and safe. Have fun. We love you and miss you, but we think this is the experience of the lifetime.
Sorry I missed you at Comet...hope you have a great trip! I will try and get Alex into Mac's for a stella or 2/4/6/ you know. Be safe, Robyn
