Getting Ready

Today I did laundry, repacked, and loaded the bike.

We had a rider briefing where Beth, Jim Red Cloud's widow, told us the significance of the dance sticks.

Horse dance sticks:
- black: west; place to go after death; "respect"
- red: north, where pipestone comes from "honor"
- east: yellow; for knowledge that comes with day/sun; "integrity"
- white: south; healing; "compassion"
- green: strength from mother earth; "perseverance"; given to last finisher
- blue: for the Creator; "sacrifice"; given to family if someone dies on the ride

I ran into my Air Force buddy Brent at the briefing, and I intend to ride out with him and his friend, if the organizers don't put us in some sort of order.

We have to be at the Harley dealership at 05:00, so I'm already in bed about to go to sleep. I'll post my beginning mileage tomorrow, but after that I don't know how often I'll post. You can still follow my location, though. Just click the map above.
