Paul and All,
Lucked out with the weather - June up here can be a mixed bag.
Temperature was in the middle to High 70s inland - on the island it was as
much as 10 degrees lower. Of course up on the mountain, it was even colder.
Thanks for the Pics compliment - being a photographer, I'm a
perfectionist when it comes to my own stuff. Actually credit Kyle for
reminding me to take multiple pics not just of the scenery but me / the
bike.
-Joey
