Brad's Blog: Homeward Bound
http://blog.bidnick.com/2008/05/homeward-bound.html
For those of you playing along at home. Thursday, May 08, 2008. Slept in this morning, which I sorely needed. I stayed up way too late, after going out to dinner with Nicole and Keith. Jesse from NY was actually in Phoenix yesterday visiting a client, so he joined us as well. Headed out and stopped by Brent's place to say hi to him, his wife Rachel, and their new son Kyle. And then it was off to San Diego. Tomorrow, I head north back to San Jose and close out the last chapter of this road trip. Miles tra...

Brad's Blog: A Grand Day Out
http://blog.bidnick.com/2008/05/grand-day-out.html
For those of you playing along at home. Thursday, May 08, 2008. A Grand Day Out. Another 580 miles behind me after today. I left Gallup in the morning and crossed into Arizona, the wind still letting me know how much it hates me. I visited the Petrified Forest National Park. Which was quite neat. I then turned off I40 to go see the Metor Crater. Which was a waste of an hour and $15. From there, it was on to Flagstaff, and then up towards the Grand Canyon. May 8, 2008 at 7:28 PM. Who is this guy?

For those of you playing along at home. Friday, May 02, 2008. Out with the old. Left VA Beach this morning and headed southeast, on my way to Asheville. The various law enforcement establishments must have had a ticket writing contest today, because they were everywhere. The "don't be the fastest guy on the road" technique worked very well today, as I did not contribute any funds towards outfitting a police cruiser with a new donut holder. About 70 miles east of Asheville is Held USA. I remember Helmut r...

Brad's Blog: Slingshot States
http://blog.bidnick.com/2008/05/slingshot-states.html
For those of you playing along at home. Thursday, May 01, 2008. After a late night cheese steak and not enough sleep, I headed south from Collegeville, PA. It rained in Delaware, but was only cloudy through Maryland, and then sunny in Virgina. Riding across the Chesapeake Bay bridge was neat, even though the wind was blowing pretty strong, and I just know it was eyeballing my tail bag. The new tires are decently scrubbed in at this point, and I like the way they feel a good bit more than the stock tires.

For those of you playing along at home. Sunday, May 04, 2008. Post title compliments of Brian Cupini. Sorry there was no update yesterday, I was nowhere near a cellphone signal, or any kind of internet access. I wrote up the post for yesterday offline; here it is:. I met up with Tamara in Cherokee, and her friend Eddie. We had lunch and then headed to the Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort. And now for today. The Tail of the Dragon. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Did you go to the fancy McDonald's?

Brad's Blog: Getting My Kicks
http://blog.bidnick.com/2008/05/getting-my-kicks.html
For those of you playing along at home. Tuesday, May 06, 2008. I stopped at the Big Texan. In Amarillo for lunch. The place was nearly empty, as I was a bit early for lunch and the weather was turning awful. High winds, much like the ones in South Dakota were present the entire day, and dark storm clouds covered much of the Texas panhandle. For those of you that don't know, the Big Texan is the restaurant that advertises a FREE 72 oz. steak. The Route 66 museum in Elk City, OK. May 6, 2008 at 7:20 PM.

Brad's Blog: Cannonball Run
http://blog.bidnick.com/2008/05/cannonball-run.html
For those of you playing along at home. Monday, May 05, 2008. 680 miles if very respectable, but nowhere near an ironman butt ride. You did the right thing though. If you haven't seen the Grand Canyon it's a must. Don't miss it. Have fun and remember to keep the shinny side up and the rubber side down. May 6, 2008 at 12:37 PM. Geo linked me to this blog and I'm very happy to see you doing such a long trip! I owe a couple of recently passed friends a journey of my own. I'm figuring out how to do it.
