Day 4, final day! Getting a *very* early start (5am local currently) to try and avoid the heat of the day. Stream will be live...soonish? Signal will be really spotty for a while. Let's crush this!
Day 3, uhhh, 530? Miles down? (Technology failed me hard today.)
Another flawless day, even when AZ tried to kill me with the 100° temps and even hotter air radiating off the pavement.
One day, 430 Miles, left. Going to try and get as early start as possible to get long past Death Valley and hopefully Barstow before the heat tries to kill me again.
Day 3 is getting started! I'm getting into the sketchier service parts of the country so the stream may have issues, just a warning. Should be on the road by about 8AM MT.
636 Miles later, day 2 is in the bag! Another flawless performance for the bike. Hit 90° just before I got to NM so this photo is sans some bags already.
TX has the worst bugs. More than GA, AL, MS, TN, AR, and OK combined...
624 Miles later, day 1 is in the bag! Couldn't have asked for better performance, and the weather was quite good as well, low to mid 80s with overcast skies for a majority of it, only getting a bit of mist on my way out of town.
Time for some much deserved rest.
I will have Twitch chat visible so I can see some things and respond audibly as time/conditions allow. It likely won't be the most entertaining thing you'll ever see, but it's gonna happen regardless!
Feel free to check-in and say hello!
Alright, posting officially!
Starting tomorrow I will be live-streaming my ride across the country (until I land on Tuesday). I have some weird video problems that I haven't really been able to solve, but they hopefully shouldn't be terribly impactful, and I'll try to adjust as much as I can. I am planning on riding and streaming from around 8-9am (local time) until I land at the stop for the day, covering about 600 miles/day.
Well, test fit of packing in the cases on the bike was successful. A bit of extra space which is nice.
However, streaming is having some massive problems. I haven't been able to figure out what causes this weird lagging on my stream from my phone. Something from my OnePlus via IRL Pro to both my own SRT ingest server and BelaBox cloud have the same results.
