When I left early Saturday morning, it was a light rain but I knew it was going to get worse; and it did.

Rain is no biggie because I put new blades on Doughboy before leaving. But then the wind velocity started to climb, just as I started to climb the mountains.

Headwinds and tailwinds I can deal with. But Doughboy catches the port and starboard winds like a sailboat. It’s a good thing I stopped to get a cup of coffee before heading home.

That being said, it was all worth it! And a BIG thanks to you Billy for all you do and did. You made what could have been a miserable situation a pleasure to be a part of! (At least for me; don’t know if Joe will agree after his journey home.)

Hope to see everyone down the road!
