Heading for home today. I had a nice route planned to get me off the I5 but I realised it's Easter Weekend so I might just take short way home and get back on Saturday. I'll play it by ear. I'm feeling relaxed after visiting my friends in Fremont and pretty lazy actually

Don't let Easter ruin your good ride!

And don't be on that Cell Phone either.

That's a very good question. I'll have to think about that. I have been coast to coast by car and seen quite a lot of the USA. I think over 30 States by now. I will say, I was not expecting Texas to be so welcoming, so friendly.

Actually, no! Everything is bigger in the USA, full stop.
Thank you for the warning! I always dawdle through Washington on the Interstates.
Not with the massive fuel tank on that VFR!
Thanks for following along!

I'm staying just south of Portland tonight and home is just five hours away! It's been a wet, cold day and I got off the coast at highway 199 from Crescent City. Great road! It will be one I'll come back and do again when it's not pouring rain

Trip breakdown:
- 14 days gone, 10 days riding
- 8400 km, 5200 miles
- Temperatures from 34c to 0c
- Nearly perfect weather the whole way through, except one massive storm near Austin and the last day in miserable fog
- MotoGP at Circuit of The Americas
- Saw Rossi in the paddock
- Finally did CA-36 after wanting to do it for the last two years. Got the obligatory road sign
- Not a single mechanical malady. Not even a chain adjustment
- Peter was an awesome riding buddy
Now to plan my next trip!

Shouldn't there be something about the number of people you met in person that you had previously only met online.
