Late start leaving Shasta this morning so I'm in Ukiah and meandering down 1 in the morning. Hate to miss the ride! See you guys tomorrow....SAVE MY BEER BREWER!!!

Big turnout last night for the super secret pre-party. Good seeing everyone. Sherry and I had a great time, even though we could only make it the one night.

Just a fabulous time was had...nice to see all my friends and make some new ones.

Thanks Brad, Josh & staff! We were well cared for again.

That was a ton of fun! You cannot ask for a better place to have
an event at than this, one of a kind!!!

We had a great time but I'm alost gettin tooo old for havin this much fun. But you can't have too much fun. hope to se you all in September for more
Brad & Josh thanks a bunch, incriminating pictures to follow...

No pics. Guess it didn't happen

Wow. Every time I think that it can't get any better, it does. Big thanks to Brad, Josh, and the Roadhouse staff for treating us like the royalty that we certainly are not, for keeping our bellies full, and for never letting our glasses stay empty. You guys are the best! :slurp:dg
The company was great, too. To any and all that missed out...............well......you really missed out.

To quote JStory (loud and proud) "This definitely DOES NOT suck!!"

*edit*

All of my pics but one look just like Scottmac's.

At least I managed to take one of my sweetie and her new bike.

A few pics from Saturday morning when I was semi sober and remembered I had a camera...















Breakfast of Champions...

Jeff was loud? Nooo...

Looks like I missed out.

Thanks road house crew! Great times
I forgot my swag though
Brosh save me a glass and a sticker please!

Thanks Brad, Josh, and your great crew! Had a great time! The food and friends always makes for a great riding event! And if any of you guys ride through the
Mt. Shasta area, looking for alternative road, drop me a line.

Brad and Josh....Thanks Again!!!

My time there was waaaaaay to short....

RR here I come!!!

Where do I start...

They STARVED us damn near to death...

I damn near died of dehydration...

Crappy weather...

Loud and obnoxious people...

Geeze.... where the hell can a guy have a good time..

I guess it'd have to be at Rio Nido!!!

I had a BLAST... I probably put on 5 lbs due to excess of everything INCLUDING fun. Great place to hang out.

My ONLY bitch would be the 104 degrees I saw on the way home. Treadless and I had a great slalom ride through the north bay and then the near oppressing heat south of Salinas (but a 40 mph tail wind).

Oh, one more bitch... where did all the birds come from? I have bird crap all over my tent! They even managed to crap on it after I took the rain fly off yesterday morning! Ah nature...

Thanks Brad, Josh and staff for a well needed weekend of fun and relaxation. It was so nice to see folks I hadn't seen in years (and those I have)!!!

Gerg

Another perfect weekend get-away,the super-secret Friday night party is always fun!

Shrimp/Sausage Gumbo/Sticky Rice/Cornbread/Ceasar Salad/Killer Breakfast Burritios/Coffee ready at the Crack-O-Dawn/Coffee Cake.............

We did not starve much,and then there was Beer.

And Homemade Apple Pies and Double Chocolate Bunt Cake courtesy of Mrs Bigger Al! Dang those were good!

Hopefully we'll be invited back.

650 miles of backroads on the DR650,FUN!

Thanks Josh and Brad!

Excellent as always. See you all in September.

Glad that I got out there for at least one evening. Hopefully, my timing will be a little better for the next one.
