Starting to get both nervous and excited now – with just days to go. On Saturday I will train down to London where I’m staying overnight with Andy and his wife at their daughter’s house: It’s just a short journey from Heathrow. On Sunday we fly to Chicago.
I think I’ve got everything organised for the trip, but I’ll find out if I have on Tuesday when the riding begins ……………….
America 2017
Getting closer.
Six weeks to go before we fly to Chicago. The routes are roughly mapped and some hotels booked. At the moment it is looking that we’ll ride to Harrisburg over the first two days, then ‘do’ the Civil War Museum and Gettysburg and Antietam battle grounds. Washington DC next and then the southern states.
A much needed update.
Since our Italian trip Andy and I have continued our travels. To Scotland with a friend, Rayan, in May 2015 and then in June 2016 to Barcelona, Spain (where we spent the weekend at a Moto GP), via a long wet trip through France. However the return trip via the Spanish Pyrenees (again) was great fun and the weather good.
This year we are going to the USA! I’ve talked Andy into flying to the east coast – well actually Chicago, where we’ve already booked a couple of Harley Davidsons and will ride down to Washington DC and then through a few Civil War sites etc etc. We have yet to finalise the route but will be away for three weeks on the bikes. More very soon.
