Sometimes you have to make the best of what you have to work with. That is how this weeks journey ended up. Stubbornness and a refusal to believe that riding North this weekend would be better than riding South, lead us to a change in plans for this weekends ride. But first! LoriAnn got a new helmet, Nolan N1004, this week. On Saturday I spent a few hours adapting the helmet to fit the Sena 20S audio unit we use. We tried the audio units out that evening to be sure that everything worked. However, on Sunday when we left home, and got a few blocks away, LoriAnn informed me that she had a rattle in her new helmet. It was bad enough that I could hear it through my headset. We made a big circle back to home, trying to isolate the cause. It became clear that it wouldn't be a simple fix, so LoriAnn jumped back into her old helmet so we could ride. Leaving home, again, we started a freeway blast down HWY 52. Our intentions were to blast down south to Preston, MN and
