Day 5

Good Evening all

Today I covered 468 miles with the last 75 through the smoky mountains,What a great area,sure beats the flat lands between nashville and Flagstaff,Az. Today I visited the wish house in Nashville,TN. What a great staff they have in Nashville as you can see above.They gave me a huge wish star and I made it stick to the back of the bike.I had some well wishers give me friendly honks of encouragement today,which I needed because it was super hot and very humid today.Tomorrow after I visit the wish house in Nasherville,NC I am going to ride the Blue Ridge Highway into virgina with a goal of making the New York border sometime in the evening.I would like to thank everyone for all their support,but dont forget there is more kids that need wishes. I seen online tonight about the little boy whos wish was to be a super hero in Santa Ana . He had a wonderful day which started with a meeting with the Mayor so she could give him a list of villans. He then went out in the batcar on patrol. Way to go MAWOCIE for making a special little boy's wish to be a super hero come true,YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!

Have a great night

Day 4

hello

Today I found myself surrounded again by a wonderful wish house staff,this time in Little Rock Ar. I covered 398 miles today. I am about an hour away from Nashville TN and yes you guessed it there just so happens to be a wish house in that city also. I will visit them in the morning and head toward Nasherville NC. I should be able to make both,but the weather is making me stop more often, It has been hot and humid with rain scattered since Day 2. I am getting good and dodging thunder storms. I hear it is clear on the north east coast just very hot and humid there also,but I am determinded to make New York. I am looking forward to getting into some cooler weather,I hear the north is cool. I am leaning towards a canada route home then come down into Idaho then over to the coast. I still have a cpl more days to decide, Any idea's out there? anyway everyone have a great night

Remember it is not what you ride as long as you ride for wishes.

Day 3

I visited with Megan at the Amarrillo wish house.That chapter covers all the pan handle of texas and they do it with a staff of 4 people,which is a huge area. Keep up the good work Megan.

In the top picture I found myself surrounded by the staff at the Oklahoma Wish House. It was a great visit.The staff got to see Dylans wish video. They were all thrilled to see it and I even gave them a copy so they could share it with others. I would like to thank both Amarrillo and Oklahoma Wish house staff. They welcomed me with open arms. I am sitting here watching the weather and it looks like I got out of Oaklahoma City just in time.they got 3 inches of rain an hour after I left,so dodging storms today was what I was doing. I made about 430 miles today. I did not make Little Rock today but I should be at that wish house by mid morning tomorrow.

I would like to thank everyone for their support.I enjoy reading your comments on facebook. You all have a great night and I will write more tomorrow

Remember always hope for the best,then deal with the rest.

Keep the chrome side up

I am in Holbrook,Az which is about 647 miles from Lake Elsinore,Ca

Leaving at night was a very wise move even though I am in for the night and it is only noon July 4th. I have a bed and shower at the motel 6 which is just my style when alone on the road. I rode through some really nice areas of AZ and yes there is more then desert here. Anyway I am beat seeing I left last night at 11pm, I would like to thank everyone that came down to Orginal Mikes to see me off. As I ride across this country lets not forget who we are doing this for, THE WISH KIDS,They are so deserving and have gone through so much. The hope andjoy that is instilled in these kids will never be forgotten.. If youhave not done so please give alittle back and help these kids be granted ONE WISH.

3 days and counting

I have been alittle busy the last couple of days getting the bike all ready. I have got to admit I am alittle concrened about the weather. I look at it like this,I will hope for the best and deal with the rest.I am very determinded to make this years ride a safe trip,but at the same time I will move forward to make sure that a child is granted a wish they so deserve. I could not be doing this if it was not for the support of all my family and friends. You are all very special and I cheerish each and every one of you. I started this because of of two very special people in my life. Seeing the power one wish granted to Dylan was something I will never forget. How it perked him up and helped him by giving him the hope and joy to beat his illness was nothing short of amazing.Now I want other kids and there familys to experence this same feeling. The other reason was a promise I made to Bobby,you see rideforwishes is something we talked about doing together. I know Bobby will be with me for each and every mile I ride. I would like to invite everyone to help make wishes come true by printing out the flier and sending it in with your donations.I look forward to reading your comments as I cross this great country on a mission to help these kids be GRANTED ONE WISH
