Do you guys know where you are going to be? I assume if you leave by 9 you'll be there about 11?

Yup, should be there about 11
I like to park on the East side near the water.
Look forward to seeing you there, let's RIDE!!

Sounds good. I'll be leaving here just before 9, or around there. I'll make a pit stop in Herington to load up with dad, then to the lake from there. I imagine we'll not be there until closer to noon. If you guys take off early, maybe check back about then? We should be there.

My truck is a jet black Dodge extended cab with "WOLF" on the front plate.
Hopefully it won't be too crowded there!?
I'm all loaded up and will be leaving soon to pick up Mr. Bump, see you guys there.

MAN! WHAT A DAY!!

Well, Kyle and Doug, I don't know about you guys, but I was freek'n beat, and a little tender in places, on Sunday! I don't know about you.

The day went great! Mid 60's, sun shining, light breeze, a perfect day for sailing, or tearing up some dirt at Milford ORV.
I think Doug was the only one who came out without a scratch from the day of riding.
Kyle liked to park his on the sides, and tops, of cliff-side hills, Kim hit the boost on hers and took a sudden seat on a dirt chair, my dad found out the hard way that neutral is not a good gear selection to climb hills, and I was reminded why I wear a chest protector with the help of some jagged rocks, and my impersonation of Superman.
As for bike troubles, yeah, I'll take this one again! Fortunately, a broken rear fender (just ripped it off), and a loose radiator hose clamp (just tightened it up) were all the troubles we really had. And since I never cause the group to lose out on riding time due to technical (or stupidity) issues, I figure I'm due for these, right? :roll: *Cough ~ don't leave your key on and drain your battery ~ Cough*
Besides a few mishaps, the other parts of the day were fantastic. Some good technical riding, great traction, great weather, all of us rode a good even pace, nobody seriously hurt, and no serious damage. I just wish Kyle had his helmet cam!
Until next time,
