Big Joe, myself, Jeff and Dennis all arrived home this morning from driving the bus back from Austin. 20 hour’s straight but it worked out great with all of the extra drivers (it made life a lot easier than last year). I got in some sleep and took the wheel at 3am until about 6:15 [...]

We’d driven through some of it, and Polka Dot had cycled through some of it, but we were under the impression that [...]

The newest member of Team Green – Rick
Posted by Jonathan Pait Published in The "Lighter Side" of the RideOur final leg before arriving in Austin adequately fulfilled the definition “epic” – very imposing or impressive; surpassing the ordinary.
