Folks, here’s the last of the Facebook entries from my buddy Neftali and his epic ride from Brooklyn to Alaska and back. Looks like he had a ton of fun!
Ok, total for Day 7 even after all I went though (tire change, credit card troubles…) was 790 miles. Total for the trip has been 5,602 miles. Really late start today but I don’t care. I’m on vacation. Have a great Saturday Facebookers!
Just had a guy follow me for about 5 miles until I got to the dealer. Said he saw me a few miles back and wanted to shake my hand once he saw the dirt covered NY plate.
What a crazy night! Checked into a room after looking for one for over 200 miles. Got there like at 2 a.m. Highlight was riding up to Bear Tooth Pass. Man the air up there was so thin that it literally made me sick. Probably didn’t help that I smoked a cigarette right before going up. Low point of the day was almost hitting a Bear just south of 212, a huge whitetail deer on 120, and a rabbit almost as soon as I got to the motel in Casper. Total for Day 10 is 872 miles in God knows how many hours. Total for the trip so far has been 7,878 miles.
Total for day 13… 1,010 miles in 15 hours and 26 minutes. Total for the trip so far is 9,329 miles.
That was probably the worst rain storm I have ever ridden through. I had people giving me thumbs up and nods as I was passing them. Cars were pulled over on the highway and under overpasses. Wow. Just pulled over to throw my heated gear on.
Okay last gas stop of the trip. I’m in Danville, PA. 165 miles away from home. My GPS says that I will be home by 9 p.m.
Awesome stuff, Neftali, and thanks for allowing me to share it here with our CSC blog readers! Ride safe and please stop in to see us when you are on the west coast!
