When does the return trip begin?

Any updates?

She says Wed @ about 13:00.

So any official numbers?


They are over @ ADVRider. She can't log on here while on the road. Somethin' about total password amnesia....

I'm looking. What forum or do you have a link?

I had a long reply that was lost when my phone rebooted suddenly

In short I didn't know about this thread until MysticRed told and I finally sorted the login issue.

Thank you all for your support!

As you may guess I don't have a lot of time for posting on but I Iam posting on facebook (Shogs Krs) to keep friends and family and informed.



Ok, take good care,

Shogs

She ok?  Her spot hasn't moved in 2 hours and shows between exits.


Edit. The minute I post I go back and look and it shows her 50 miles down the road.

I planned it like this.
The miles and miles of construction zones are abandoned.
There is NO traffic.

Are you gonna sleep?

She started rolling 5 - 6 hours ago and is in Massachusetts around Worcester. Her route to Maine will be critical as will be the factor of weekend traffic. Go Shogs!

Probably will hit some traffic on I95 from Boston north, but it should thin a little once she's past the ME border.
OTH, it's a glorious day today.
I'd much rather be spending it on a moto than a computer pretending to work.

Go Shogs :clap:

I don't know how much delay there is in posting the SPOT info, but she seems to be at the Mass Pike/495 intersection. I would assume the plan is to head northeast on 495 to meet up with 95.
 

Of course, when I last rode those roads, there was no 495.

And weekend traffic along the coast can be heavy. The stretch of Rte.1 after she gets off 95 is what I'm thinking of.

Yes, she's on 495 almost to Lowell Mass.

Getting to the home stretch, as of 3:46 eastern, the spot shows her outside of Bangor, and G maps says 120 miles and 2 1/2 hours left!
