Just a glimpse of an amazing experience!  If you go be prepared to read a ton of detailed information.  There are several theater presentations too.

In all, the experience will worth taking.  The reminder of my day would consist of riding to Nashville to spend some time from friends.

Day 19 | Nashville, TN – Savannah, GA

After a wonderful afternoon with some friends in Nashville, TN, it was time for me to start my final day of this journey. 

My trip started out with a plan that went awry and while I was disappointed in that fact it proved to be all good.  In retrospect, I should have outlined a Plan B.  In the past I would have one but not on this trip.

Plan B proved to be great and while I wish I had more time in some locations that will provide reason to go back.  Perhaps this time sooner!

In all, there were 16 states and 1 providence visited logging over 8,000 miles in 19 days.  Another wonderful opportunity filled with thoughts for a lifetime.  I am blessed to have had such an experience.

Now get out there and ride!  Experience!  Love!  Freedom!  Take It In!

Even though plans don't always work out, somehow we still manage to enjoy ourselves...

And thanks to you Jock, we've all thoroughly enjoyed your most recent journey.

Fabulous write up to go along with your amazing photos!

There is an ole sayin’, if at first you do not succeed try again.  Sounds logical right?

Last year I had outlined a plan that would take me to a number of locations including Banff, Alberta Canada.  Unfortunately due to a number of fires in the area, a large number of roads were shut down and I was forced to conduct a Plan B.

This year, after careful consideration, I thought I would attempt part of that journey.  During this consideration I thought about a number of elements, including a few friends I have made through the website.  In conducting this effort, I decided to honor JR & hdbrad03 on this ride, as I am sure they would have loved to be able to take it.  Guys I wish you were here and know that I was thinkin’ of you often.

So the following experience becomes Buffalo, Babes, Banff or Bust | Redux.

Day 1 | Savannah, GA – Nashville, TN

This day would consist of a number of work events that required attention that would take me off the bike.  The weather was hot and there was some slight rain during the ride.

My arrival time was late into the afternoon and I spent the time with some local friends.  Good Times.

Day 2 | Nashville, TN – Salina, KS

Another day of work, which I expected, and of course this would slow down the ride.  There was a fair amount of traffic, rain and other elements this day.  However I was pleased with my progress.

One of my favorite stops is in Nashville, IL at a little church which was photographed on page one of this thread.  The church had been recently maintained and I was pleased to see that it was still there.

Not a lot of imagines to be had on this day since it was all about making time to where I wanted to be!
