Reroutes and Exhuaustion

Day 44: August 13, 2017: Dayton, OH: 377m/607km

We spent hours running 2 different detours and constantly being rerouted by the Garmin. I finally convinced him to use Waze. It was an uneventful day with little to no scenery. We went to Dairy Queen for dinner and saw a Bob Evan's for breakfast tomorrow. I am so exhausted from all of the reroutes and running around in the heat.

A Quick Photography Session

Image
I met Austin in passing at the Annual National Sidecar Rally in Rising Sun, Indiana. He was taking shots of the other rigs and hacks that were parked along the pavilion. I asked if he had seen the matching sidecars that my grandfather and I ride-he had not. I talked with him about the bike while he took a few shots. I gave him one of my cards, we exchanged instagrams to share pictures and information with, and here we are. So. If you are looking for a great photographer and one that has a passion for things with wheels and engines, this is your guy. You can check out more of his work on his Instagram (notyouravgcowboy) or his Facebook (Whiskey City Photography). Last I checked, he's willing to travel as far as you're willing to pay him to go, but you can occasionally catch him lurking around some motorcycle rallies. Feel free to reach out and Get some incredible shots of you with your bike, as well!

Sidecar Saturdays : Games and Awards

Day 4: Saturday: This is pretty much the last day of the rally, tomorrow morning, everyone will pack up and head home. Today was going to be a long and busy day. Sidecar games. Catered dinner. Door prizes, 50/50 raffle, awards from the sidecar judging, the sidecar games, and the sign-up sheets (longest distance, youngest/oldest, etc). After a quick breakfast, we wandered over to Walmart to buy Opa a fancy crank radio, so that he could listen to his news stations on the radio. We went to the field around the corner from the camp to participate in the sidecar games. Opa said it was too hot for him to stand out and play. Luckily, a wonderful lady named Cathy with a dark green Ural asked to be my partner and vice versa. Game 1: Sidecar passenger had to play cornhole from the sidecar while never stopping and maintaining the line in the grass. Game 2: Sidecar passenger tries to make the basketball go through the hoop while the driver never stops the bike, while driving on the line. Game
