May 25, 2009 - All good things came to an end...

We all had a great time and got back safe. Vu's personal satellite locator (SPOT, http://www.findmespot.com) kept updating our positions on Jason Jonas' web page that we set up http://jasonjonas.org/spot) so that our friends and family could keep tracking of our trip and whereabouts, either out of curiosity or concerns. The SPOT uplinked our GPS positions to a system of low earth orbit satellites (GlobalStar) then downlinked to ground service centers.




The total trip was about 800 miles in 4 days so it was far from Ironbutt standard but we weren't out to set a record either. We just wanted to get away, ride in our own thoughts and solitude and at the same time enjoying the camaraderie. IT was a great success.
