Supposed to rain in phx tomorrow and friday still. Hope we dont get bad weather since my 9yr old daughters going with. A small group of us are heading from phx sat morning at 0dark30 530am... Probably stop in Wickenburg at the dennys for breakfast, then off to windy kingman, and down to the river.

Should be a great time like it is every year. Everyone thats leaving during the week be safe, and hope to bump into a few of you out there.

I changed my leaving date until Friday AM at 0 dark 30 hoping to avoid any rain. The wife is riding too and will not be riding in the rain. She refuses, so let's hope it is pouring at this time tomorrow am. The rest of my group is still leaving Thurs with the exception of one good friend. Everybody ride safe out there, especially in the wet. 2 days to go still. I'm staying in Laughlin until Monday now. Thank god for flexible work schedules.

Well, it has not rained a drop here at my house and it is sunny as can be. I changed the plans for my old lady, and am a bit upset I have now. What can I do? I'm out of here at 6am tomorrow. The rest of my group should be arriving for their breakfast on their way right about now. See you there tomorrow. The only good thing is i am only riding with 3 people as opposed to 16 which makes getting there a little easier. Ride safe everyone!

SNOW??? WTF.... To everyone that has already left or is already there.. So jealous! I have to stick it out for another day and a half! Hoping for no wind in Kingman (HAHAHA) and for the weather to not go from 60* to 110* when I hit bullhead city like the last 2 years. Be safe to everyone heading out.

I had to run in to Kingman to the Mother Road Harley Dealer this morning. I got hit with sleet going over the first pass. It rained a little at the Dealer, but stopped. There is cold wind there. I just returned to Laughlin. The Sun is out and no rain. It is about 60 Degrees. Tomorrow they say the temperature will be about 25 degrees warmer and clear for the rest of the weekend.

I talked to my crew. they got rained on in Fontana, that was this morning. Have not heard back from them yet. I am now glad I did not leave today. It will be far warmer tomorrow and no rain predicted. WooHoo, it is getting close. Getting everything packed and on the bike now. See you people there.

I am back home from Laughlin. I had a blast. I saw lots of vendors and spent lots of money. I was at David Allen Coe's concert last night. He was good.

I left about noon. As I was leaving I saw a LOT of people. Both already there and on the road going (as I was leaving to go home on I-40). If you are still not there, get ready for a large crowd. I bet there will be more than last year. A lot more.

Have fun and ride safe.
