Delayed Start

Rain and repacking the bikes kept us inside for most of the morning today. Maybe it was a blessing since I got in so late Friday night. I needed the extra rest. I didn't realize how draining a 92 hour train ride could be. We didn't leave for our first ride till Saturday afternoon. We just finished our short 18 mile "shake-down" cruise. My front end was a little squirrely but I think can fix it with some weight redistribution tomorrow.  We are setting up camp for the first time. I practiced this at home but real world will be a little different I'm sure. Sorry for no pictures on this post. Once camp is set up, I'll try to send some if I have decent cell phone coverage.
