So CFO 2013 is a wrap... people are still mingling and mixing in the banquet room, but this guy is done. What a great group of riders, many of whom I now call friends. Can't wait to ride with you all again soon..! And for those of you who had lame reasons like family, work, prior obligations, etc.. here a few pics to get things started!
Great roads that beg to be flogged... and flog them we did!
One of the many amazing views of the Mighty Mississippi from overlooks that were part of the Rally Rallye set up by Rick. My first time visiting any of the three states around me, that Rallye was a great way to see cool and somewhat eclectic spots while chaining together great roads. Definitely doing this again at NAFO next year!
The amazing Rally Rallye where we went to the four corners of the area trying to salvage a high scoring route before our 8 hours was up... 8 newbies and a long-time rally veteran! Only one encounter with
and a speed award (we won't say who)... but everyone had to face Rick and his
scales of injustice. Well, actually he was very fair... it's just sad that NO one (including me) understood how to claim a fricking mileage bonus correctly. Here's Steve (stevec677) undergoing the hot seat...
2/3 of our group at Two Brothers power sports who really put on a good morning for the CFO group. Big thanks to them for their support and coming out with a lot of enthusiasm...
The amazing table-of-swag procured by OFace and many others... there was some good stuff in there, so much we all got to go up twice!
Tango Sierra walking away as the "Bridgestone Man"... new set of rubber for his '10 next year!
And last but not least, a quick shot from my phone of our group pic... 50+ riders I believe was the count on nearly as many bikes... 2 couples from Australia definitely set the distance record travelled, while WaBill from Washington won the longest ride to CFO this year. See you all next time!
