Route 61 - United States - update

Hi All,
The route 61 trip is going well as we reach the half way point of the trip. I'm glad we started the trip last week as New Orleans is expecting a significant storm in the next 24 hours. The Harley's are all behaving them selves in the hot weather and the majority of our riding is high speed formation riding - 70 mph is the speed limit in the states but generally speaking everyone sits on around 85mph. It's been a great tour so far, great accomodation, bikes have been good and it's a good crew of people. Our tour guides have been amazing and have taxied us around areas where we can't take the bikes. Today we travelled through Kentucky and staying the night at sikeston Missouri. The heat has been hard work.... Very hot & humid. We have Ulysses members from Albury, NSW (mid coast) and Tassie (Alan Linsley is the ex Pres from Mornington). Hope the surviving the cold weather back home (we are not missing that!)
Stay safe all!
