Lannis, I tend to agree with you. I did this more for the
challenge/opportunity than anything else. For me, the hardest thing was
keeping alert - especially since I had been up all day Saturday before
beginning the ride. I would go through peaks and valleys of
alertness/energy. When I was about home, I thought to myself, I'm good
for at least another couple hundred 8> There is no way I could have done
this on the highly enjoyable two-lane roads I road up to the rally on.

Cam, I'll never admit to spooning the Ambo...my wife thinks I'm too
*involved* with her already!
