I made a very late (2 days ago) decision to ride to IZ this year.
I was a bit worried about finding a room, but today, I got it! I also got registered for IZ.
I am sooooo jazzed to be doing this ride and for having the opportunity to ride with friends (at least part way) and to see the great Valk family members that I have come to know since 1998.
This will be my 5th InZane; 1xPaducah, 2xFrisco, and now 2xBellaire!
I'm getting a new front tire and new coolant on Monday and will be packing and go KSU next Wednesday morning.
Did I mention that I was sooooo jazzed????
I live and ride in some of the best mountain riding in the U.S., but it is always a treat to ride in new territory. My most favorite IZ was Paducah in 2004. I rode to and from Reno all alone and almost totally on 2 lane roads. It was awesome...even though I got rained on EVERY DAY (some days only for 5 minutes) for the entire trip. I was hooked from that time forward.
I grew up in Indiana, so following IZ, there will be an obligatory visit with family and longtime pals in Indiana before heading back "out west".
And, oh yeah, did I mention that I am sooooo jazzed?
