Final Checkpoint: 7:30 a.m.

Ok people, she has 2.5 hours until penalty points at 10:00 a.m.  She has 2 hrs and 26 minutes of riding to get here.  And it's through the Los Angeles area.  I have to stop drinking coffee now.

The rally HQ here has been a buzz since about 6 a.m. this morning.  Riders are coming in - BIG smiles.  Lots of hugs and slaps on the back.  Lots of people asking me how Kirsten is doing, quickly followed by, "boy, she put together a great ride."

There has been another accident, although the rider is ok.  The local BMW shop is here and helping out.  We have an appointment for Kirsten this afternoon for new tires, oil change, and to check out that front wheel that's been a bother on this trip.  When I made the appointment the other day, they said, "tell her the guys from Brown Motor Works said - you go girl!"

More later - I have to go hug a few more friends.

  5. "Well Done" is not even close to the accomplishment. However, I'm at a loss for other words except for "Congrats"
