Day 4: Zero Mile Day

Total Miles Driven - 690

Today’s Miles - 4

Saturday, May 28th

I took a day off from riding, so I could spend needed time with my family and rest my body. Being my mom’s favorite of three kids, we had a great day of conversation, shopping at REI, and eating hibachi. After such a heavy week of bad news, it was comforting and encouraging being around my mom.

The next three days will probably be the hardest riding days of my journey. So, I took some time repacking my scooter to make fueling simpler (the gas tank is under the seat). Furthermore, I cleaned my Vespa, checked the tires and fluids, and gassed her up. Hence, the four miles driven today.

Tomorrow will be great! I am pumped about having breakfast with my middle daughter Maddie, and meeting my first grand dog Molly, before hitting the road.

I didn’t take any pictures today, so here is an oldie but goody of me and Mom. Feeling a bit homesick today, I posted one of my favorite family pictures.
