More 100 Days of Summer...

On July 1 and July 4, I visited a couple of local locations...

Hillsborough County Library - Riverview, FL


Barnes & Noble, St Petersburg, FL

Cape Fear - 100 days of Summer...

The premise is to visit bookstores and libraries over the summer. We get to create our own "Rally Flag" and while the motorcycle is not the required mode of transportation, in this case, it will be!

All pictures must be posted on the Cape Fear Facebook page and the winner gets a paid entry into the 2014 edition of the Cape Fear 1000!!

I started off easy...taking a picture of the Nook with the previously described artwork, i.e. the rally flag.


From there it was off to Mobile, AL and Pensacola, FL for a few more shots...

Not bad for a one day trip back to Tampa...


The IBR - July 1 through July 12

Watching the IBR...

It's been a great start to the Iron Butt Rally - 2013. Many friends are riding in this event and its fun to follow their progress.

The riders have finished leg 1 and left Pittsburgh for California, where the next check in is at 10am on July 7, Then it's back across the country for a final check in back in Pittsburgh on July 12 at 10:00am.

Leg 1 tracking - 3500+ miles for the leaders in 82 hours!

I'll be there for the finish and look forward to hearing the stories at the Finisher's Banquet that night.
