Day 15 Shennandoah to Hampton, VA


milage 228
total milage 3831

This was the last day of our mini-trip. We found the gas station at the campground was closed when we pulled out at 6:30 am., but we thought that we would all be fine. So much for thinking, 10 miles later Dori went on reserve.... her trike gas milage really varies one tank to the next, from 21 to 31.


About 15 miles later we got to a gas station, she pulled in running on fumes. Her trike has a 5.3 gallon gas tank, she put in 5.4 gallons.....WHEW!
The rest of the ride was much less tense. After stopping for lunch (Chipoltes Burritos) we headed down hwy 17 heading for Hampton. Unfortunately Martin got seperated from Dori and I (Dori had a learning experience) and we were unable to join up. Dori and I ended up at the Yorktown pub for lunch, great burgers! And then onto home, after a stop at the local Harley dealership, Dori wanted some different gloves, It was her birthday. They didn't have any gloves that she liked.
The next day we didn't ride, just did some servicing. But we did go to Fort Monroe.
Today we went 228 miles.

Kip needs to explain that a "Learning Experience" is when the rider -on an incline causes the Trike to stall----several times.....I gotta give myself a "brake" here-I've only been riding 5 weeks!
