Left this morning at 8:30 in a heavy fog. The ride through NYS on route 17 was gorgeous. I have always heard how nice it was and indeed it met the expectations. Got to PA and onto Rt 219. It had it's good points and it's bad. Speed was too slow. Average was 45 MPH. I could not believe that how much of the route was posted at 45 mph. Some of it was actually 35 mph. Little was at 55. But the twists and turns were an absolute delight.

I got to Johnstown, PA for my night on the road and the weather has turned worse that originally forecasted. I'm going to get wet in the morning. I talked with Gary (Guns90) tonight and we are about 60 miles apart, so in the morning we are going to try to hook up and ride the rest of the way together. Actually truth be told Gary is lost and needs me to show him the way to Elkins or else he'll end up in Toronto.

Should be leaving about 8:30 AM and hook up with Gary at 10 AM We should arrive in Elkins about noon and no later than 1:00 PM.

Now to get to sleep.
