Day 3: Idaho to Utah





So I am surprised...I actually enjoy ridding in the big pack. The 1300 miles that we have done is just a good start, but taken one day at a time, I can see why people come back to do this year after year. After three days ridding in formation is getting more intuitive vs constant sweat....nothing like doing 80 mph in a pack. As you can see from this picture to the left that the bikes are staggard so that you have 20-30 ft distance with bike in the lane ahead and then about 10-15 ft from the bike to the side (front and back). At 80 mph it takes some getting used to. The pack is tighter the closer you are to the front where are the hard core ridders like to group.


Franklin Graham gave a short devotional this morning. Guess what verse he used? John 3:16! I got to thinking on the ride about the simple message that the Graham family has always had...just the straight up gospel...how they have dominion with this message and people always respond. I am wondering what our family (fray family) message is?


On the video you will see the gas stops which are a fined tuned manoever followed by lines at the port a potty. One of the port-a-potty brand names today was "King's Throne". Kyle got a big kick out of that. At the last stop today somehow I wound up with my bike on the very front and the kids thought I was "some body" and so I signed autographs for the "Petty Racing Team"...ha ha.

No spell check or Gail...so overlook my sps.
