Bad news....it was about a year ago I was writing a similar post. My Mom has Cancer, she lost both breasts several years ago and her lung last year. Well, it is back and she is on oxygen full time and is very weak. I will be heading out to Sedona to spend time with her. Not sure when I will be back. I will probably bring both bikes and plan on spending several weeks there. I dont know how October will pan out for me.
I was soooooooooooo looking forward to this ride. Now Im thinking there is a slight chance I will be around. We shall see.
No worries SUN, your mom takes priority over this ride (as I see it)...
