That was an awesome weekend.  Wow, getting to know such a great group of people, making new friendships, going on an official ride, taking a long trip as a newbie, it was all just fabulous.
Chappy-you are a wonderful host, all the planning really was great.  Andy is such a character and loved to entertain!
Bear did a great job leading us to Elizabeth and I would certainly join again if he leads more rides.
The 444 is a fabulous group and so willing to help anyone learn.
I look forward to more rides-I almost have 1000 miles under my belt! Thanks to all. 8)

Chappy,

Nice pictures, thanks.  Looks like people were having a good time and that is what it is all about.  Glad the weather held up for you guys too.  Maybe next year for me? 

BTW, nice beard!    :o :o 8) 8) ;) ;)

Chappy,

I had a wonderful time and great companionship. Andy's motel was a blast and the weather couldn't have been better.
What a fun and interesting place!
