Day 3 The hills are alive with the sound of internal combustion, originally uploaded by Big Al!.

Sunny at the ring. Did 3 early laps while the track was quiet, but it soon got busy and then an accident closed it for about an hour.

Day 2 Sunshine at the ring, originally uploaded by Big Al!.

After a long ride in cold weather, heavy rain, and heavy traffic, the sun has finally come out. Hope it’s the same tomorrow so I can do a couple of laps. Stiff and tired after the first real day of riding since finishing the original round the world trip 18 months ago. The good news is that the beemer, even fully loaded with luggage, can happily cruise along a good 20 or 30 mph faster than the xt, which helps when you’re on the autobahn surrounded by 120 mph audis.
