Matt called in at 2 pm, he is in the San Francisco area and had a good day of points gathering.

He also had the fun of riding a fully loaded FJR on Lombard street!

He is planinng the return ride and is excited to get back to Saint Louis to see how everyone has done.

10 p.m. Matt is just west of Reno and headed toward Salt Lake. He’s just paused for something to eat and to check his rear tire for pressure and clean off Bristlecone mud. He thinks he may be developing tire problems and will monitor closely and replace as necessary in Utah.

His spirits are high but fatigue is becoming a factor.
