We tried to get there (Malta) but something got in our way, the wind. A storm was pushing through, and the wind changed to be on our face at a steady 10mph or so. With or legs being sore from yesterday we only made Harlem. The heat was high and it was an easier decision because our gang of 9 friends from ACA were staying here as well. Sober made camp at City Hall and went for a swim in the town pool,  than later joined our gang of 9 for dinner. Soon after we showed up Shawn and Dave also pulled in. Shawn had a kidney transplant a year ago tomorrow and was riding with his friend to compete in the transplant Games in Madison WI.
