Everyone knows the trip is not done until all the travelers are home. I’m headed back to old Va via SETX.
I left Blue River, Co just before 4 mst or 5 am Texas Time. It was about 46F. Heated gear and insulated gloves were perfect. Also perfect… the Super Ten’s super bright Denali lights. I made it to Raton NM with no incidents.
I ditched the heavy gloves and electrics and wicked up the speed. I set the cruise just a few over and hauled without issue to Amarillo. Somewhere between there and Childress, temp rose over 100F. Between Childress and Decatur, I saw about 3 hours in the 102F range, with peaks at 104F.
I took extra breaks and stayed hydrated with no problem. I’m more mentally taxed from the journey than anything.
Checking out a local joint called Sweetie Pies for their famed chicken fried ribeye. Stay tuned.

Oh, the meal… it was very good. Chicken fried ribeye and all the fixings.

Harv, that is ruthless. I HATE riding in that heat, it’s brutal. Stay hydrated my friend. I do the water jug on the footpeg treatment with a hose running up to the tank bag so I can sip and ride. Out west here its just one long stretch after another so it’s basically mandatory. Thanks for the wonderful pictures as well. Ride safe!
