We started out today in Colorado at about 55 degrees. After over 700 miles of riding, we're in Missouri now and trying to cool off after riding through temperatures that reached 108 degrees. Couple that with winds gusting past 35 mph, the trip at times on I-70 was miserable. It was especially bad along the plains in Kansas where the winds and heat were extreme. We did take a number of breaks during the ride though and that helped. When we stopped for dinner, we did meet three guys who were riding BMWs across the country. One of them was from Williamsburg and another from Maryland. They rode out to their buddy's place near Las Angeles and now he's riding back with them to North Carolina. Unfortunately, his 1200GT wouldn't start at the gas station/Subway and when we left, they were busy tearing off the fairing looking for a short. Oh well, not a great endorsement for BMW!
Tomorrow, we keep pushing east...stay tuned!
