I wish. I have a few work related items to finish tomorrow, no way I'll be on the road before 11. I'll see you down there...bringing your O2 sensor with me.

I rode 555 yesterday. All was well,EXCEPT from where rt78 meets 555 for about 3-4 mi south.. The road,for a lack of a better phrase is making it's own fine gravel. BSAFE

I love my GPS... this is what you get when you tell it to avoid highways and (deliberately) don't tell it to avoid gravel roads. About 15 total miles of uphill, downhill, and twisty gravel roads split over three separate roads. Add in a few paved goat paths and I had a blast on the way home through WV!

The Geeks are home safe.

Just under 200 miles and - you guys, get this! - I actually stayed IN Ohio the WHOLE time!! I completely avoided Indiana this time!! I know, I know - I'm amazed as well.

We had a terrific time and it was great seeing everyone.

We'll get our pictures uploaded and I'll toss together a ride report.

Smell y'all on the road...

Well, home safe & sound yesterday & immediately went to see m friend in the hospital.

Bob made it home, also. I'm not sure of mileage. Pretty sure it was under 500 miles. Didn't want to wake up for work this morning. I slept right through the alarm clock for an hour & 1/2.

I'm home. Followed the chi-town crew out this morning which allowed me to test rain gear out...

The question is: Did it work very well? I got home about 2 my time. Hope Wheaton made it back with that racing slick.

Once the correct zipper was closed, it was adequate. Great weekend - could not have asked for better - except for the FSB roads.

I rolled in about 20 minutes ago...had a blast this weekend! Thanks Wayne and Marty for organizing...

It was great seeing everybody...

Too bad the roads were too darn flat, straight and (yawn)...boring. No more SE Ohio...you can fall asleep on those roads.
