GRAMS AND GRAMPS

Gramps did 50 miles today and I did 61. Wanted to do the full 70 but a thunderstorm came up and you know I don't ride in thunder and lightning.

Gramps fell and has a few scratches on his arm and knee. He couldn't get out of his clips fast enough. He will probably sag tomorrow because he will be stiff.

My knees and thighs are a little sore.

We are, however, having a good time. Being a sag is fun. I've reached the 200 mile mark on the odometer. If the weather permits, I will ride some tomorrow. It is hot out there with the humidity and sun in the afternoons. Not getting much rest as we leave the motel at 6:00 A.M.

Our friends from Monterey are doing great! Even with his new knees.

Ed, you would have really enjoyed this ride. We have been so taken care of.

And no Avery it has not been all downhill. I have been introduced to butt cream. And I need a new pair of shorts. My chamis in the ones I wore today had almost no padding.

Look forward to getting into Natchez Saturday. Pigout Inn is having a big barbecue for us on arrival. Alot of people should be there.

Love you'all.

Nancy and Chuck

Hi! Hope Dad isn't too bad tomorrow. You are almost there! Yes, I know how you are in a thunderstorm and I am surprised you did not make everyone get off their bike and seek some cover. Sounds like some stomach issues continue so be careful. Got everything situated for our July adventure! Keep up the good work! Love, C, L and A
