Well, back after the flying trip down to the Hat to see what was going on with my mom. For those of you not in the know, I received a call on Thursday from the ICU in Medicine Hat that my mother was brought in by ambulance - they still don't know what is wrong with her but have her stabilized at this time. Total milage racked up 837 miles. The bike didn't touch under 80 MPH on the way down, but took my time coming back. Amazingly, when I totalled the fuel logs up and did the math, I got 62 MPG going down and 59 coming back...! I have a sore tailbone and a mild case of monkey butt. What a ride though! The weather was fine and other than having to drive through the smoke at Camrose, it was a good run with no issues.
