So we are thrilled to report that Chris arrived safe and exhausted this afternoon! With the rumble of his pipes, he rode into Montana HDs parking lot accompanied by his new buddy Alan on a Fatboy, and our very own Chick Beckley, who was riding his Heritage down to the dealership to see if Chris had arrived yet and pulled up along side of him down the road! Thank you Chick for your enthusiasm and support for Chris throughout this challenge.
I also want to mention our new friends from Hoka Hey, Mark Brodie and Robin, who have been with us at the shop for the last three days checking in riders, answering questions, and generally directing traffic. They are volunteers, kindred spirits from Texas and Arizona, who are taking the same time away from their lives as the riders are to be part of this challenge...even if they are traveling by truck :)
Chris was greeted by friends and family of MTHD who all gathered in the parking lot to welcome him home. He was dazed, hadn't slept since the Grand Canyon, over 2000 miles back! He slept outside on the sidewalk against the building for a few hours, got his bike serviced in the order he came in by our amazing service department that has spent the last few days going above and beyond for these riders and wrenching on bikes until 2am last night to get them back on the road safely in record time! Exceptional job guys!
Around 9 or so Chris rode out towards the border.
Sincere condolences and well wishes to all the fallen challengers. Chris, Alan, and the rest of you amazing men and women, ride hard, travel safe, and live in the moment...it is truly an epic adventure you are on!
