Wishing you the best of luck! And thank you for posting up your adventures for gimps like me to live vicariously through

Re: 2014 14er Speed Record Attempt
It will be interesting to see how well the InReach does compared to a Spot.
You may have already figured this out but a motorcycle on roads with bigger rocks like the Lake Como road will be very difficult and dangerous. A 4WD would be a better choice there.......I think.
Some online motorcycle sites have cold weather starting tips.
this will be fun to watch, best of luck.
hmmm, maybe delayed already. ouch

Re: 2014 14er Speed Record Attempt
Hello! It looks like James and I are just about ready to head to Silverton to catch tomorrow's train to Needleton. I posted a couple of pictures on my website of our support vehicles, so that if you happen to see them, you will know it is us and will come say hello.
I am really looking forward to getting started, although I am sure it won't be long until I can't believe that I volunteered for this!

Andrew,
Best of luck on your adventure. May the mountains inspire you when the going gets tough. May you have the best of weather and the journey of a lifetime. I wish you all the best. Now go get that record.
Live the Dream,

Good luck! Looking forward to following along.

"There have been joys too great to describe in words, and there have been griefs upon which I cannot dare to dwell; and with those in mind I say, 'Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste, look well to each step, and from the beginning think what may be the end.'" - Edward Whymper
