I set out at around 8:45 in the morning, heading south for home. The threatening skies finally let loose in Kansas City and I got rained on all the way to Topeka. The rain gear held up well and I was completely dry by the time I got out from under the clouds.

Today’s ride was really just a straight shot home, with no real sightseeing or stops, other than lunch and gas.

I pulled in to the garage at around 6:30 in the evening, having ridden around 560 miles today, with Motley Crue’s Home Sweet Home playing on the XM. A fitting end to a great trip.

All in all I rode about 3100 miles in 10 days and passed through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma on the way.
