Hope everyone had as much fun as I did. er, I know a couple of folks that didn't. I saw an orange fender off to the side of the pipeline (another story there). A couple of folks tried swimming lessons - on New Year's Day even. And some were trying to blow some air into an old tire tube. Guys, if your going to drive up from Texarkana bring a couple of extra tubes!
After all of that said, I think most everyone got their money's worth. R.T. said he got more than his! Rock Smoker and I actually had to pay extra for an additional hour of fun. I got 74.86 miles in that day. The most I've ridden in quite a while. But I had a blast and that mileage only covered the northern part of the property a couple of times.
If you didn't have any fun, it was because you rode with the wrong group! Lunch was great and thanks to J. W. for volunteering (that doesn't make him a Tennessee fan) his time to cook for everyone. I think everyone got something to eat. Folks were coming and going at will!
I look forward to many more of these type events for our club. I think it will bring us together and make us stronger. Thanks to everyone who came and look forward to riding with you again soon.
Had a good time on new years day riding with all of the ADR folks.
The morning run with preacherman's group was a little wet on some of the trails and made for some intresting spectating as his rear end slid around on some of the wet leaves.
The afternoon run with peoman's group was definately a workout and caused me to wind up "on my head" because I was riding "over my head" going across big nasty as I was attempting to catch the disappearing orange bike in front of me.
Enjoyed the ride and being with friends. Hope to do it again soon.
R.T.
