Brau Haus Lunch Run

As we rapidly the delayed start of the last Buttlite, Buttlite X, I needed to get some miles in practice rally style fuel stops as well as get into the all important rhythm of riding for longish stretches at a time.   I was also trying to get used to wearing a neck gaiter/ face mask that i could pull up as needed for retail encounters.  SPF50 it promised; only the sun will tell that tale.

Sadly, I failed to check my Spot batteries before I left and wound up buying new ones on the road near La Vale, MD at Sheetz prices.  Another stupid tax.  There was some significant rain during the ride out and i got soaked to the skin between checking in to my motel in Parkersburg and a restaurant a mile away.

Good group of folks gathered at the Brau Haus; i had my lunch, bid my farewell worked my way back up to I-70 via some backroads and hammered to our Estate for the night.  Up well before dawn, the ride home was uneventful.

Then the news dropped that the Buttlite, Number X, the last one, was cancelled.     Arguably the hardest rally i have ever ridden in is the Buttlite, also had the most fun too.

This Covid shit sucks.

At least there is the MS5000 starting September 1.
