Did this ride last year and had a great time. Rode with Kendall Smith and a guy named Rob (I'm getting worse with names, that and was working mids at the time) on Day 1, then on Day 2 rode with Kendall and his wife, Rob and his wife, Coy Workman (Joewannabe on ADV Rider) and his son James. We did some of the harder stuff on Day 1 including one hell of a Powerline downhill that looked to be a short cut to a dirt road we were looking for. Thankfully the landowner was home and let us ride through at the bottom of the hill or it would have been a real PITA to go back up that hill.
I'm hoping to go back again this year.

Hey Ed! You're better with names than I am.
Last year's Hillbilly Ride was a good one for sure. I'm not sure if we're going to make it to this year's version or not, but we'll definitely do some riding with you if we make it. I promise we won't do any power line descents this year! I might build my own route down in that area so we don't get bored with all the pavement and make a silly decision to "liven" things up by dropping off the edge of a mountain!

Kendall, that kind of stuff just makes it part of the adventure and good memories. Probably won't make the Hill Billy Ride this year as Coy has managed to talk me into doing the Arkansas 500.
Who knows I might be able to make it to the Rally at the Rock this fall, but you're not making it easy on me scheduling it close to my wedding anniversary, and this year will be my 35th.
