Bow Tie Tour http://bowtietour.com Alaska and back again, our motorcycle tales Tue, 19 May 2009 19:21:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Day 39-40 – Albuquerque to Chattanooga http://bowtietour.com/2007/09/day-39-40-albuquerque-to-chattanooga/ http://bowtietour.com/2007/09/day-39-40-albuquerque-to-chattanooga/#comments Sun, 16 Sep 2007 21:08:04 +0000 admin http://bowtietour.com/blog/?p=96 We woke up and started riding.

The sun came up, it rained, the sun went down, it stopped raining, the moon came up, we kept riding, the moon went down, the sun came up and a few hours later we rolled into Dayton, TN.

We rode 2,200 miles in 48 hours, let’s just say we were a little sore.

Here we are after pulling in.

Thus concludes our tale, “to Alaska and Back again”

We rode past wind farms (where we took the picture for the top of the blog), stopped in Phoenix Arizona and ate a fun lunch with some friends and continued east.

Around midnight we stopped in Albuquerque and got a hotel room for the night.

When Eric got back we packed up and made the short trip up to Laguna beach where we spent the night with another xanga friend broncomom.
