Tomorrow I'm off to Alaska, renting a Harley and having a ride around the South Central part of this huge state.  I will be using SPOT and hopefully have a daily blog that may be of interest HERE.

Its not an IBA ride but a Flower Sniffing Ride which follows four rules:

1.  No more than 150 miles per day.
2.  Do not ride in the dark.
3.  Do not ride in the wet.
4.  Have a daily focus.

follow these rules and you'll have a happy flower sniffing adventure.

I'll be asking questions at the August RTE to see if you have been following.......

Later

Dave

I'm sure a Hardly can manage 150 miles a day so you should be ok

Thanks very much to you all, I'm going to try to set off SPOT tomorrow at Newcastle, Heathrow, Chicago and Anchorage but finding clear sky whilst transitting an airport may be an issue!

Later

Dave
