THIS IS HOW WE ROLL....

Victory Bike Shop has our tires in!  They had to order these.  They are stronger for touring on. So now we just have to get the Rovers up there so they can put the tires on and give them both a once over for anything that "Hell" might have jarred lose.  Which reminds me, I found pics on the net of "Hell Road" so you can get an idea of what we traveled on ALL DAY and well into the night!


 
 
I've read a lot saying Bents can't climb hills.  Granted that first few big hills were challenges but that was just because my body wasn't accustomed to riding like that.  Once it got used to it the hills weren't all that big of a challenge on it.  "Hell Rd" though...now THAT is a different story!  It's a good thing the view was gorgeous because the road was nearly impossible.  The picture doesn't do it justice (Neither does actually).  The road was deep loose sand and gravel with big ruts in it.  The average car would get stuck and our rip it's undercarriage off for sure.
 
Well, I'm enjoying spending time with my family while I'm home.  We're off to do some camping and have a fishing "competition" tonight so I'm out of here!  I'll talk to y'all probably Thursday from the Indiana Dunes.  We're going to begin our ride by riding the Nickel Plate Rail Way up to Rochester and cut over...ride up to the Dunes, spend a bit more family time to kick off our Michigan leg of this ride!!!!
