Interstate of Mind

Yesterday was a little boring, as far as scenic riding goes. It was nothing but interstate riding across 4 states. Riding on interstate is noisy and windy, and can be a beating after 7 hours. I managed to fix my headphone cord issue, which took the annoying aspect out of the new iPhone setup on the bike.

One highlight was my first ride through an underwater tunnel. I've been through the George Wallace Tunnel in Mobile a few times, but never on a bike. It's really cool how the freedom on a motorcycle can completely transform a familiar experience into something new.

I was able to dodge the heavy rain today, thanks to a tip from Les to bypass Destin to avoid some traffic and double back. I missed the traffic, and as I pulled into Santa Rosa Beach, the rain bands were dark gray in the direction that I would have ridden.

I'm settled in now and looking forward to a few days of relaxation on the beach. I have a much more scenic route planned for the ride home, and will be avoiding the interstate highways. Good times to come!
