NORTH LEG
PRE-PARTY: NORTH LEG
DESTINATION: LOS ANGELES, CA TO SAYREVILLE, NJ
MILES TRAVELLED: ALRIGHT, WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO INCLUDE SAT QUESTIONS IN THIS STORY?
WHAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE EATEN: A POOR EXCUSE FOR A CHICKEN WRAP
CONSTIPATED? PROBABLY NOT
Ricky's been a West Legger since his very first time on the Tour, but since we weren't doing anything out of Texas this time around, he shifted to the East-well, North East to New Jersey, home of the Nets before Jay Z moves them to Brooklyn. As you know, we've had some crazy stories from past North Leg trips so all Ricky could do was prepare, even for the kick off party hosted by F1 Motoring.
DAY ONE
NORTH LEG
DESTINATION: GREENSBORO, NC
MILES TRAVELLED: 500
WHAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE EATEN: ROY ROGERS, BEEF JERKY, ENERGY BARS
CONSTIPATED? LET'S SEE, AN ENTIRE ENTREE MADE UP ENTIRELY OF JUNK? SURVEY SAYS?
Unfortunately, all our fun, festivities and crazy antics were shut down by rain-lots of rain. So much rain that our morning stop consisted of a hundred or so people crammed under the NOS Energy Drink tent getting juiced up for the long haul. Hey, if you're die hard enough to stand out in the rain for the Tour then we'll get drenched right there with you. One loyal reader even rode down from Canada on his motorcycle with his younger brother hanging onto his back. It's insane what people will do just to get away from Canada and their wack wannabe magazines. The OGs knew the drill with the T-shirts and Tour bags, and then there were tour vets like the guys from Speedlounge.com and Grafx, who not only one upped their custom Tour graphics from last year, but gave away their custom made Entourage T-shirts as well. BP threw in plenty of gas cards to soften the blow of filling up along the way. We probably would have made it to our party in North Carolina had the pilot of our mad soccer mom mini van not driven 40mph and got off at every other rest stop to use the restroom.
