Loving every minute of it. Crazy snowstorm right now. 90 miles north of Pittsburg heading south. Getting 14mpg which is amazing.

Handling feels better. retorqued everything. 9/16 u bolts. @ 100lbs. Emptied gas can on bumper. Ate some food drank some beer. Lighter weight seemed to help. Starting cold psi was 25 today. Getting up to 27 after couple hours.

Check the lemons rally Facebook visitor page for lots of pics. Hard to find them because we are all posting as visitors to the main page so they don't appear in the main feed.

You get your list of places to go see starting tomorrow on your leave from Pittsburgh? I might know some of them and could maybe give you recommendations on some of the places.

Official day 2. Actually day 4 for us driving including getting here. We are a little over 1000 miles right now. Lake effect snow is no joke. Left Buffalo at 5 pm last night and followed the coast of Lake Erie until we hit the interstate south to Pittsburgh. Visibility was horrible and had to keep it about 35 mph for 3 hours until we got out of it.

Your going through my neck of the woods coming through WV. Have fun. The part of the state you'll be seeing is beautiful, not quite as beautiful in winter though.

Awesome! There is a Waffle House a stones throw away from our building if that helps you plan your challenge route :)

At 3 of the rally. Started in Asheville this morning. Drove tail of the dragon-hwy 129. Then visited with duffs before lunch today. Amazing quality and a really cool fab shop. Rolling along at 75mph now. 100 miles from Nashville. Then on to Memphis with a few side trips along the way. 600 mile days are exhausting.

Oh yeah, you've definitely gotta "represent" for the rest who can only imagine the adventure this is.

Made it to Memphis about 9pm last night. Slept in this morning. Long days on the road. Looks like 3-4 hours to finish line with a couple of side stops.
