Hi all,
Just thought I’d share again, so here goes!
If you ever want to know what microdermabrasion feels like without spending a lot of money at a fancy spa, take a road trip on the back of a bike! In 8 days I’ve had tangled hair, windburn, sunburn, bug hits on my face and legs and enough wind battering to last an eternity! Who knew this would be as challenging as it has been? Frank almost has it easy considering he has a windshield and fairings to protect him from most of the elements. He does have to pilot the bike, which he does with impressive abilities, but I think I have the more challenging position since I ride higher than he does. If I had my own windshield, that would make things so much easier. I think there has to be a way to create a patent for a retractable windshield that emerges from the seat rest at the touch of a button. All you engineering types out there better put your thinking caps on and design something quick!
All in all, I have only thought one time about hanging it all up and taking the first flight back home, but I’m not done yet! This has been one of the best adventures I have ever taken, and I wouldn’t trade anything for what I have experienced. It’s been a test of endurance, core strength (gotta do more ab work!) and stamina - and I think I’ve passed with flying colors! Yea me!
I am really looking forward to seeing my bestest friend Debra tomorrow and spending some time with her. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen each other and it will be great to see her again. More later![gallery]

I have 2 words for you Sharon. Face shield. Or is it one?
Well Sharon, You hang in there girl, you are doing good with it all. A face shield would help but it goes with the helmet. Frank has done wll too, he is a good driver. Enjoy your visit and time off the road. Love Ruthie
Yup Sharon, I’ve got to agree with Dennis. A helmet with a snap on face shield will do the trick. When on a short ride, it’s easily removed. Hang in there, you’re doing great!
Stick it out Sharon! We’re rooting for you!
I’m waving to you! You look good up there on your throne….You go girl!
