Early start! That will help.

start mileage 32812.5

Yermo has pulled the sidestand up and is underway.

This ride is now underway.

Time to go sit in DC morning traffic. I had wanted to be out of the house an hour ago ... best laid plans of mice and men.

One feature I want to add to rides is a configurable pre-trip checklist. There are quite a few things I do before I leave and I inevitably forget one or two so it would be nice to be able to create a list of my own that gets associated with each ride ... then as I do each task I can check it off and have some confidence that I'm not forgetting anything. 

I didn't sleep all that well or long. I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep or less but I seem to be mostly functional.

I'm in the final stages before departure. And I'm sure buffalo will be shocked to hear that I've, for the first time ever, synced my GPS with my Sena as an experiment. 

I wanted to run the spot tracker and post the link to the live map here but unfortunately their site seems to be having a problem. Password reset is not working. I'll have to try again later as it's starting to get close to time for me to depart. 

You may put Foxfire Cabin on the map as the home base if it's useful. Address is 706 Underwood Cove Rd, Waynesville, NC 28786. It's been on the internet for nearly 2 decades, there's minuscule risk in utilizing it. 

America.Rides.Maps is going on (2018 BMW Adventure).

Yermo is going on The Mule (2009 Suzuki DR650SE).
