Fun in the Rain

I wanted to give a quick update on Tony and Karol's ride.

they started on Monday morning at 10 AM from St. Louis and decided that the best route to travel would be northeast. Hoping that they wouldn't get caught in the storms. Well, let me just say that they got soaked, but Tony was still having fun. Almost the entire ride from 10 AM until 1 AM on Tuesday morning was in the rain. The Aerostitch suits couldn't hold up to the weather conditions so both were soaked. Tony loves his new Oxstar boots because they kept his feet nice and dry. Tony had to stop wearing gloves because his hands were pruny and the material was hurting his hands.

The weather slowed them up and they had to opt out of a bonus location in order to make it to the BBQ place by midnight (time limited bonus location). After this bonus they decided to head to a hotel for some shut eye. They got in about 1 or 1:30 AM (EST) and set the screaming meanie for 4:30 AM to continue their trek to York, PA. Well, they got a slow start this morning because they decided to change their route and head south instead of PA (bad weather predicted).

After hitting some bonus locations along the way they decided to change their route again. Instead of going to Atlanta they are on their way to Birmingham, AL. Once they get to Birmingham (around midnight EST) they will find a hotel and take advantage of a 6 hour sleep bonus.

I have talked to Tony multiple times during the day and he is in good spirits and having fun. He was able to ride in the mountains for the first time today and got to travel through some mountain tunnels.

This is going to be a wonderful adventure for Tony and it is truly an honor to be able to participate with his mom. Keep up the great ride and continue to have fun.

Ride Hard and Ride Safe.
