I'll keep it short for now...too tired Had a great time...lot's of loops and loop-listers - very fun to put faces with names - and even better in person. Had to be back home in Tampa today (Sunday). Left yesterday evening (Saturday) at 8:30 PM, ran all night and made it back to the home in Tampa at 3:50 PM. 1,050 miles exactly. Not too bad for my first iron butt test, if I do say so myself. Aside from some oil leakage, the Ambo ran fabulously there and back. More grueling, bun-tingling tales forthcoming. Too hungry, too tired, in-laws are here for another week...more stories in a few days... |

Greg -
That's pretty amazing - I just spent 10 hours in intimate personal
contact with my Eldo and if someone told me I had to do another 5 to get
home, I'd pull over and sleep in the ditch. Good on yer!!
Grueling and "bun-numbing" is more like it...I wish I did have some
tingle left.
It was great meeting you, and I was really astonished at the quality and
quantity of loops and their owners that were there, and how far they
came...
I had a good time and hope to see you all again soon!
