Dave?

Was watching the radar throughout the day along your routes... wondered if you had to endure any rain and weather. Sounds like you had a few moments.

Glad to hear you guys made it. Looks like Stretch, Rayski, and Rasta have yet to show. Hopefully their ride was flawless...

I'll be waving at you as I pass-by tomorrow. Have fun and ride safe!!

**GIBBY** · 06-22-2013, 07:34 PM

Ray and his posse, Tim, Amin, Amin's friend Greg (Harley rider) and another Mike made it here about a half hour ago. We are headed to Granite City Pub for dinner, yahoo. Have a great time in Seattle Greg and Kendra, will be thinking about you guys.

**glwilson** · 06-22-2013, 07:48 PM

Alright! Glad to hear that part of the trip is going well.

Granite City... love the place. We have one here.

Later on...

**Top Cat** · 06-22-2013, 11:10 PM

Well, made it to Lincoln tonight.
Super 8 we stopped at was booked. Not the one you guys are at.
But was hot, sweaty and tired so stopped a block away at the Microtel.
The guy gave us directions to the other super 8 but seemed like a hassle to get there from where I was.

Will see you guys in Colorado

**Rasta** · 06-22-2013, 11:13 PM

TC,Ray was riding with you guys for a very short time today in Iowa.He was the guy on the green bike before he had to peel off to get fuel.He didn't think it was you since the color of the bike was different....he didn't realize you have a different bike now!! The plan now for us is to leave at 7am

Yeah I knew that was Ray.
Gave him a thumbs up on the paint job

Didn't think he knew it was me as the purple bike is sold and I now have a blue and silver.
Of course I had my full face helmet on

When he took the exit I figured he need to get fuel.

**Rasta** · 06-22-2013, 11:59 PM

That's what he said,that that wasn't TC! This was a blue bike and that not what TC has. We informed him that TC bought another bike!!He did say the guy liked my bike!!

**Top Cat** · 06-23-2013, 12:11 AM

You guys going all the way to Estes Park tomorrow?
I-80 to 76 to 34 is what I figure on and that is 503 miles or so.

We are going all the way to Estes Park today, it is raining cats and dogs right now. Looks to be another multi weather riding day, life is good

See ya in Estes Park!

**glwilson** · 06-23-2013, 07:24 AM

Storm is tracking across the Lincoln area, and west of it for several miles. Storm tracking north, northeast, so there is no waiting it out unless you wait for quite a few hours.

Center of a cell within the front is just yet to cross over I-80 just west of Lincoln.

You guys will have to ride through it if you plan on making time today.

Ride safe guys (and Sally)!

**Rasta** · 06-23-2013, 07:48 AM

plan to leave around 7am TC...you got my number,calll if you want to check on us or join us along the way.

vulcanguy · 06-23-2013, 08:29 AM

Ride safe all of you. Enjoy the rally!
Wish I could have joined, but my sis in law's wedding on the 29th took priority.
I will have a different kind of jacket on that weekend...

Enjoy!

**GIBBY** · 06-24-2013, 07:41 AM

Left Lincoln yesterday morning at 7:45 a.m. and the thunderstorm had passed. We made it to Estes Park at 5:00 p.m. and never had a drop of rain fall on us. Long ride across Nebraska and Eastern Colorado but once we hit the mountains it was glorius. Plan on doing the Grand Lake ride today but not leaving til 10:00 or so, give everyone a little break after two long days in the saddle. Greg, hope you and Kendra made it to Seattle without too much trouble. Have fun out there buddy.
