(but hot) I am not as sore as I was. Much less moving around on the bike today. Much less standing on the pegs. We may hit a dealer in Edmonton to try some Airhawk seat pads.<br \/>\nIn the first 136 km today I saw two deer and my GoPro broke and tumbled down the road.<br \/>\nDendog was behind me so he missed seeing the deer but did notice the GoPro. The GoPro was not filming, so nothing to see. I circled around to pick it up. Just need to find a new case.<br \/>\nI met a new best friend, but he isn&#8217;t a floor (inside joke) and Dendog was not jealous. We followed a seasoned rider on his BMW K100LT for about 150 km. the bromance ended when he stopped at a rest area. We never met, but we shared a moment.<br \/>\nIt took us 2.5 hours to leave the hotel this morning. We just keep talking to people about our trip \/ their trip. We met a guy from Grand Bend, ON that was staying at our hotel. He had a BRP Spyder with a trailer. He had more than two sets of clothes.<br \/>\nWe passed through the center of North America, Rugby, ND.<br \/>\nIn addition to my GoPro, my sunglasses were crushed by a truck after they flew out of my pocket west of the Fisher Landing, MN rest area.<br \/>\nSo far, the only accessory I really wish I had, is a real cruise control. My Excel Throttle Lock is great, but we had very long stretches of very straight roads. For the roads we have travelled so far, a Goldwing or FJR 1300 would be ideal. I may now get a call from Art at Motorsportsworld.<br \/>\nGoing to hook Dendog up on WordPress so he can share his perspectives.<br \/>\nWe are at Applebee&#8217;s and our hotel room smells a bit like sewage. Some Robaxacet and good night!<br \/>\nI typed this one on the iPhone. Sorry for mistakes.<br \/>\nLunches at subway = 2 for 2.<br \/>\nSome pictures follow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/milddogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20130630-225748.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130630-225748.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/milddogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20130630-225748.jpg?w=1290&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/milddogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20130630-225806.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130630-225806.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/milddogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20130630-225806.jpg?w=1290&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/milddogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20130630-225816.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130630-225816.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/milddogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20130630-225816.jpg?w=1290&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/milddogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20130630-225825.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130630-225825.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/milddogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20130630-225825.jpg?w=1290&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 30, 2013 No rain!!!!!
