And so the Ride Begins

Day 1
This morning, Overtime was bid farewell by Darlene, the dogs, and of course, the Dudley's attack McCaw Parrot, Lisa, as he set off on the road; Destination Casa de Rigid. Tomorrow begins the ride West for these two, the tandem taking off early in the morning.


I received an email from Overtime earlier this evening that read as follows...
"Uneventful trip to Rigid's beautiful place (if you don't count the rain).
It was spitting rain on my way out, but by the time I reached Orangeburg I had to don the body condom and full face.
Wouldn't you know, 2 miles down the road, the sun came out and the road was dry.
Feeling like a total dork, I decided to just keep all the crap on until the next gas stop.
Being the clairvoyant I am, I felt vindicated (and smart) when it opened up a little later.
Met Rigid at a nice little tavern in Forest City, NC for a cold one followed by a guided ride through the NC foothills.
Have a couple of pix that, if I can figure out how to do it, will forward before we take off tomorrow.
Great start all in all."

Great start indeed... Safe travels, fellas... We're looking forward to progress reports from the road!
