It started with a rider's meeting at the end of a pier in Hyder. A fabulous location that can best be described with the photos included here. We all started leaving shortly after. I left in the middle of the early leavers, but found a long line at Canadian Customs so I went back to the starting line and did it again.
We rode the same roads I had taken yesterday and they were as spectacular as before. The weather was cold but clear early, warming as the day went on. I was never uncomfortable as I felt nothing but joy for the entire distance. had a cup of coffee before leaving and had nothing to eat or drink for the remainder of the time. Then upon finishing, I had lunch with several riders at a nice German Restaurant in Vanderhoof.
Traffic was light and that allowed for some nice speed to get us to the finish.
At the finish I realized that I was competitive with my ride. The gps was on the entire way and showed a top speed of 85 mph, faster than Rocket has ever gone. It ran great, but the exhaust gasket is blowing after just a few weeks since it was installed. Luckily, it is a task that I can do myself.
At the start
Rocket and Me
We have to take photos at the check points. Here is one. Quite fast, that Rocket.
Checkpoint 2
And the gps at the end of the day. Nice Max Speed.
