Athens to NYC Day 3: Bridges, Tolls and Victory



Today was good riding but pretty expensive (over 20 bucks in tolls).

Mecca.


Gas station in which I almost put Diesel in my bike. Today
could have been a lot shorter


Bridge.


Getting off a bridge


Mid bridge.


Thinkin' 'bout bridges.


It's a tunnel!!! No, wait... it's a bridge.

with pointing and clicking


Well hello there city


No gang violence in this neighborhood.




Hiptstamatic saves the day again.


Miles traveled so far...

Good day

They're still here!

Athens to NYC Day 2: The Ever-Present Threat of Gang Violence

We left a town so safe people leave their doors unlocked and the keys in their cars. We arrived at a very nice house full of very nice people that happens to be in an area where sometimes, occasionally, people are shot in the head executioner style. That's ok, though, cause we're in the house. However, our bikes are sleeping in 'head-shot alley' tonight. We may be walking to NYC. Who cares, DC is cool.

Thanks to Fran and Carrie for putting up with us. I mean putting us up. Same thing, I guess.

Athens to NYC Day 1: First 400.0

Look, we took some pictures!
Athens, Ga in all it's splendor. Why even go to New York?


We pulled off to ride a mile like the locals do...


I convinced Alastair to ride a mile in redneck shoes. Twas glorious. (Note: It was only a mile)


(This motorcycle was a prop. Paramedics were on site. Movie Magic.)


Alastair hated every second of it...except for the new doo


WAHO break


Freedom. God Bless SC.



I'm not a bad-ass, I just play one on TV.



Virginia is for lovers and epic scenery. Mostly epic scenery. (Damn hippies)


Bike Cuddles


400.0 miles on the dot to our first stop. Crazy,huh?





All in all it was a good day. Special thanks to the Jones family for having us, and the entire movie crew that helped us pull off the image of helmetlessness.

Athens to NYC Day 0: Nada

I rode to Athens on 316 today. Whoopdy doo.  I did cross the solid white lines of the HOV lane a few times.  Now that's living dangerously.
