I had a blast, Dan.

Helen does in fact exist, but since she is camera shy I did not feel it was right to sneak a Louie of her. If she wanted a pic of her posted, she would asked for us to take one or a group pic.

Here is my mileage. Really pleased with the bump in MPG I got in the higher elevation!

that's pretty decent mileage, what rpm/speed do you usually cruise at?

I usually cruise around 3000-3200 RPM around town, but that is more stop and go. Riding in the mountains we were up and down on actual speed but very little time lost to any stopping. Also, the lower numbers on that chart are from interstate runs at 65-70'ish. When I cruise solo, or when I made the trip with Greg up to Avon we were going a little faster, I think.
