JC's plan is I 85 to I 20 to I 10, which is the most direct route and also should keep him out of the weather...   

Great, 20 to 10 is how I am planning on heading to the west coast next year.  He made a good move but then again this is not his first rodeo.

Damned fine job getting JC's new ride, detailing and servicing it so it was ready to go.

I hope he is doing well on his journey and his back doesn't give himany discomfort.


Hopefully you and yours are enjoying the day and the weather isn't too bad up your way.

Happy holidays

Jerry

Thanks you sir!
I try to always give more than I receive.
We all have so much to be thankful for.
One of the best things I am thankful for are the friends I have on CVOHarley.com.

Edited to add,
His new bike was cleaned, polished, serviced and immaculate when he left on his trip across the country.
I have already fussed at him to get it cleaned as soon as he get's home.

JC is rocking on down the road.
He has made 911 miles and plans to make more today.
Once again, ride safe JC!

Thanks for posting the report - pleased to learn JC is getting it done without issue...

Looks like his plan is working.  He is staying ahead of bad weather from what I could see this morning.

Way to go JC

JC has been doing these types of rides for a long time and knows how to cover miles.  I am very happy to hear that his back is holding up!

834.6 miles today, for a total of 1910.4 miles in the past 40 hours. 

Got caught in a freezing drizzle in El Paso this afternoon.  I knew it was cold but I had my heated gear cranked up.  When I slowed to turn in to the dealership (the largest in the world?) I opened my face shield and quickly realized it was freezing drizzle....pelted in the face with little ice chips.  That was a first.  And for some reason I would have never associated El Paso, Texas with snow capped mountains surrounding it.

I'm currently in Lordsburg, New Mexico.....exactly 22 miles form the Ariz. state line and it's 31F tonight.  Don't think I'll be leaving at 3 or 4 am tomorrow.   But, if I should and make it home by 1:00pm....that would be near ocean to ocean in 60 hours.

The back pain is still at bay......amazingly.  Thank you God!  No coincidences here, He gets all the credit.  But I do have all the stiff, sore, achey muscles that one gets at my age doing these kind of rides.  Have to have a talk with yourself prior to stopping....."o.k. legs....get ready......this is going to take real effort and concentration not just spontaeous action".

Just did a weather forecast search for Lordsburg, New Mexico.  The low tonight is going to be 23F.  Yep, don't think I'll be leaving so early tomorrow.    J knew it was cold!


568 miles from here to Coronado.  Google maps says it's 7 hrs. 54 mins.  At the speeds I've been riding (85 mph) I'm only getting 130 miles to the tank of gas.  But that's OK, I' due to get off and streatch a bit at that point, anyway.

I think anyone at any age riding those kind of miles in that time is going to be a tad "stiff, sore,achey"... Great job and and it should be in the mid 60's in Diego when you get here. People around here think "thats freezing" here but you will have some stories to tell them..
Stay safe!
