West to Salt Lake City – startup

So 2 days to go and my bags are almost packed.  Decided not to travel with all my bags which means I’ll probably regret it later.  Leaving the tail or top case behind because it’s heavy, and, as the name applies, ‘top'[ heavy.  I will be updating my blog site as I travel – I’m travelling using hotels, motels and even one hostel along the way but all seem to have internet.  Also plan to use sherpa service at the BMW rally I’m attending in Salt Lake City.  Sherpa service provides a tent with cot and coffee delivered in the morning.  Not cheap but it’s right on the grounds so won’t miss any events.  I plan to arrive Wednesday July 12 but that’s subject to weather, bike and my noggin’ being all in shape, all the time.
