Alaska Day 41


The night before when we arrived in Blind River Bruce noticed his rear tire needed replacing. Bruce pulled out the gold book and found a shop about 180 miles away in North Bay. Bruce and Dave left at 6am while John and I slept in and were on the road after breakfast about 8. We rolled into North Bay a little after 11, asked for directions and headed for the Honda shop. I was talking to John on the CB. I paused and voice came across the CB "Is that you Don". Now that got me puzzled as to who knew I was in North Bay or maybe it was some other person named Don. Then I realized it was Dave, gee what a puttze. We joined up gassed up and off we went. Everything worked out fine and once again a beautiful day to ride. Not too many people want to be number 3 but Dave is trying. Since last Sunday when Dave weighed on at 223 and I weighed in at 216, Dave has been on a quest to make me number 2 so he can be number 3. He has offered to pay for the desserts if I will eat them. Not sure if John and I will be 1 and 2 but the final weigh in will be this Sunday. So be at the meeting for the results. We crossed the boarder late that day and settled in at Clayton, N.Y. Rode 508 miles today.
