What a nutty day. I will have to upload some pics later but it was a great first day!
I met up with graham in memphis after a looooong plane ride and we were shortly on the road. We hit about an hour of pavement to get to the trail. We hit the dirt with smiles on our faces and were making great time until we hit some nasty mud sections. After hitting the mud our progress slowed from 40-45 mph to about 2mph. Bikes started falling and the temp just kept rising. It was a workout and we had some parts damage (palmers beak from his dakar and grahams hand guard and shift lever) but it was all around a great day.
We are now hanging out in the hotel room blasting the ac and working on finding food in this tiny town.
If this was the first day I wonder what is in store... More tomorrow.
