   Although I've been on some of these roads before, I won't be doing a pre-ride so I can't vouch for their condition and so I present this disclaimer...

   This ride is a natural product made from a combination of recycled routes and new roads. The variations in road conditions (e.g., gravel) and directions (e.g., u-turns) enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws or defects.

Nice disclaimer    I'm at a wedding on the 21st, I'm going to attempt to stop in for breakfast to see you guy's off... the deep end

[Bad Boy]

GREAT disclaimer, rpm.  Been going to law school?  LOL

[Jerzee Boy]

We'll be deciding what a defect and what's not.

I too love the disclaimer.  I've come to discover that pretty much any ride that is not led by me is a good ride...so assuming the weather is good, you'll see me and my dirty bike on Saturday.

Looks like I'm staying in town so see all you in the morning, should be a good day of riding!

[rpm]

weather looks to be great! see you in the morning!

btw, the ride to lunch is kinda short, so you might want to have a light breakfast.

Thanks to all to rode today! Six bikes and seven riders, including Boom Boom, Kactus, Windrider, Grumpy, and MandM. Special thanks to Boom Boom and Kactus for winging and tailgunning. 171 miles in the fog, under the clouds, and in the sun!

[KAKTUS]

Bob,

Nice selection of roads.

Can't forget M&Ms better half LouAnn. You're welcome for the gunnin!!

Thanks for leading Bob

 

[MandM]

Great ride Bob.  The road selection was great.  I especially liked the escort through the road construction which I'm sure was arranged in advance.   

Aside from the bug that crawled under my sun glasses, LouAnn and I had a great time.

[WindRider]

Bob!!! Thank you so much for a great ride!! Was awesome meeting MandM and his really cool side kick LouAnn!!
The weather started off a little funky, but quickly turned into perfect riding weather!
Loved the "eye candy" that you provided with the construction workers!!! Thank you, Thank you!!
Was fun chasing the guys around through the twisties and sweeps!
Hope to do it again soon!
