    Not all plain sailing. I think I just run out of steam. Have you ever felt this way on your motorbike trip or is it just me? Please share your experiences.

      It happens all the time to me.... And that's when writing. It's dangerous and I reach for something like an EXTRA STRENGTH 5-Hour Energy beverage, which is probably bad for one's longevity on this planet, but not as much as riding when you are almost falling asleep in the saddle. I've actually ridden long stretches of interstate to get somewhere I wanted to be and not remembered being on the bike... A horrible thing to admit. Here on the West Coast of Florida. We have intense heat, so sometimes we like to have some clouds and a drizzle. Instead of the heat index which is often above 46C On the blacktop

      Of course.... I'm sitting at work (as a pediatrician), having been up since 430 this morning and having plans to ride this evening after working 11 hours. I don't want to change my mind about that, but it's one of those days where what sounds good at 730 the morning does not often sound good at 630 in the evening because I know I'll be tired when I'm out there on the bike and it is the tourist time of year with an incredible amount of traffic around here. Most the time we ride on Saturdays, leaving very early to avoid the traffic, but that does get monotonous and I rarely have time for longer rides these days.

    Another great video
    more people need to know about your channel
    weren't sure at the place where the Arctic Circle has migrated because of the continental shift and it was actually one or 2 km north of that welcome center?
    I thought that was the same place. The MISSESNDEN FLYER went to recently and then realize that he still had to go further north to be north of the Arctic Circle, because it had migrated. Of course, I could be wrong. Nonetheless, you did go further north, and I was hoping to watch you set up your camp. Can't wait for the next video. Again, thank you for sharing

      LOL well, I defiantly managed to pass the AC geographically. I know we make a big fuss about it. When you passing into the AC in Sweden, there is only a big rock with a sign on the roadside in the middle of a forest. Absolutely nothing special over there. Still loved it every bit of it. I'll make a video about camp pretty soon as think it is worthwhile sharing. Thanks again for the kind words. With a bit of luck, people will find my channel it's all about sharing experiences. 👍

      I always push for another 30min just to keep me on my toes. I could get a bit to conftable pretty quick.
