head home on Monday

Ask me about staying in my home overnight and we'll see what we can do depending on demand.

Post up and you can Email me questions if you like (I try to avoid PM's)

This sounds like a BLAST!

I hope things look better financially in 2011 so i can play more.

bump for those interested who need to plan their 2011 vacations in 2010

some comments:

this is a very low key event...informal...rider's wishes always invited...leisurely rides with above average # of stops and socializing

it will be like past rides with proven enjoyable points of interest and the nicest, prettiest, interesting roads around

April will be here before we know it...

I Don't know how I missed this before, Mike. Looks like a good time. Not sure where I'll be in April, but perhaps I'll be able to join the fun.

Been looking at this event for a couple years now Mike. 2011 won't be the year for me, but that po' boy looks damn good! Can you believe last week I tried to get a shrimp poor boy at Emeril Lugasse's Sports Bar in Vegas and they don't have them on the menu! madre de Dios! Next thing you know Italians will give up pasta or sumpin'....

Gotta hit 'Nawlins one of these days.

Was ready to meet up with the rental car but my employer said that I had to be home at midnight so had to leave.

Have fun folks!
