Launch!

CERUS loaded and ready to roll

Update from somewhere in West Virginia. In the photo, my bike is loaded up and you can see my car and my house in the background. Ready to LAUNCH!

At this moment I am posting the photo and this text via my phone while at a gas station. My cage and my hootch are way behind me now--already distant memories compared to the horizons ahead.

Beautiful riding weather: 90 degrees, mostly sunny, a few passing showers, and beautiful mountain views. Of course, what passes for mountains here in the east pale in comparison to the mountains toward which I am headed!

Onward and upward!
