Stage 12

Long, hot day today covering 300 miles. Trying to maintain about 48 mph, so it adds up to a long day. Bike was missing this afternoon, so I cleaned carb again and added a filter, set points and valves, and changed plugs. Oil consumption is still consistent, although using a little more on interstate. A lot of interstate these last 2 days.

Stopped at Bonneville salt flats. Pretty interesting place for sure. Salt bed is long, flat, and very hard. I've heard it's pretty fast to. Took group photo of all the bikes

    WoW! Some stages seems to be long and grueling. Reading the reports of some riders about how hot and grueling and boring the stage was before reading the standing I was a bit worried that you where among those 18 that missed some mileage after reading this on the C-ball site. --"There were 21 riders who did not start for Wednesday's ride out of Utah. Ten bikes broke down along the way and were trailered, while 3 riders completed all their miles but came in late. Another 5 riders completed all the miles but were penalized for leaving the hosted finish early."-- Those 5 must have been tired...or the food really crappy... But boy, would I have liked to see the saltflats and Wendover in real life, prefereably at a speed event of course.
