272 miles. Made it to Vegas, and immediately headed for Frankie’s Tiki Room with Kyle. Let High Rollers Weekend begin!...

213 miles. I’d wanted to ride by Big Bear Lake, but a wise weather check revealed they got a foot of snow last night. Instead, John rode with me as far as Barstow, following historic Route 66. I continued along 66, eventually pitching my tent behind a large bush...

Pete should probably be taking it easier after a traumatic incident....
