    Made it here to Cortez

    It was 2100 miles and loved every one of them.
    The bike surprised me from Garden City Kansas to Cortez I went 202 miles
    on 3.8 gallons of gas. Kept thinking my gauge was going crazy.

    I will be in tomorrow. From Oklahoma by way of Riverside CA. Spending the night in Flagstaff in a teepee. Probably could have gotten there today but no rush. Google says 4 hours so I should be there early.

    The higher elevations do that to the gas mileage. I usually get 45-53mpg here in Colorado. Not much interstate running as I like the backroads, but I am a little heavy on the throttle sometimes.
