Yesterday Eric and I took a cruise up to Logan. I met up with him over at his place about 10:45. After gassing up we hit the road. Nice steady cruise along I-15 until North Ogden when Eric got off the freeway. His hand was already killing him, so we went for some Advil at a gas station. So he got drugged up, so we continued on. Little did we know we were about to enter a war zone. There is a reason for full face shields, and I was grateful for them. So many bugs completely plastered out helmets. After we exited at Brigham City we stopped to regain full visibility. While we were there I opted to place my inner liner in before heading up Sardine Canyon. We proceeded up the canyon where I became very grateful for that lining. It wasn't freezing, but you could really feel the temp drop.
We made our way into Logan then stopped at the A&W so Eric could get some cheese curds. We ate some lunch, then continued up to Richfield, where his sister is moving to. We went up to their place and hung out and helped paint for a while. We didn't want to make the ride home in the dark, so we left about 4. We headed North a few miles to cross into Idaho. Took a some pictures in Franklin to prove it, then headed back home gassing up along the way. Stopped again in Brigham city, where I decided to keep the inner lining in. Then continued home.
My odometer said 236 miles. Not bad. Good experience. My recent additions definitely made a huge difference. I wouldn't have been able to make the ride on my old seat. And the highway bars were so nice to be able to move my feet around. My shoulder is still feeling it though. So I'll need to get some pullback risers, and possibly a cruise control of some type. Overall a great cruise!
