It’s been a busy couple of days getting ready for The Chase. I decided to have everything ready to load onto my trailer on Saturday morning by 10 am. The grass should be dry enough for cutting after that. Being gone for two weeks in the summer here in the south is tough. You may come back to a jungle. I got it all finished by 2pm. Eva and I were ready. So we thought. Going through our pre check list we found the passenger side tail light not working. They are led strip lights and not just a simple bulb swap out. We went to Tractor Supply and got a new one and swapped it out. Only a 45 minute delay!
We left around 4pm and stopped in Olive Branch MS for the night. On to Cape Girardeau on Sunday. We had a nice drive on I-55 through miles of cornfields and arrived around 11am. Tech inspections started at Noon and I was 10th in line. The bike cleared inspections and we are official now. I received the 17 mile practice route and loaded it into my scroll box. I was ready, I thought as I pulled away and made it less than a mile before I missed the very first turn.I went back and started again and managed to make the practice ride flawlessly on my second attempt.
Ready for the prologue tomorrow.
