4 Days to go...

Yes, departure is scheduled for Wednesday and I am so excited but also nervous. Nerves are pertaining to both can I get out with the weather, we just had another 9" of snow last night and this morning, and they are predicting a "wintry mix" for Wednesday. I am hoping that by the time I leave at 1:00, it will only be rain, although maybe a cold rain. The other thing I am a bit nervous about is how well I will handle the cold, even with electric gear. I had hoped to actually be able a to do a test run or two to work in the mornings but the snow (over 20" in the last week) and ice has made that impossible.

I am pretty well eady, as is the bike. Tires and fluids are good, I have had a battery tender on her also. I have one panel to put back on over the battery and a few small items left to pack in the bike. My gear is ready and all checked out except my comm gear in the helmet. I will get that done tomorrow along with the balance of the bike stuff and packing.

Route is finalized in S & T ready for printing and the GPS route is also layed out, I just need to load it in on Sunday.

Thats all for now, going to get my IBA paperwork prepped and then relax for the evening.

See You In JAX!
