	What a great time we had this year. We began out adventure with 18 people and 10 Bikes and with our trusty support vehicle ( Wes ) we embarked on an adventure that was second to none. Four states and over 2400 miles the fun started with the first mile and ended with the last. Through hot or cold, in the mountains or in the desert, mile after mile seeing the beauty of our country, and making new friends along the way.
Kudos to all the riders for a fun and safe ride. Get this group together and you will hear all kinds of stories (some true and some embellished), and yes I have some good stories. OH YA!! this years ride is on the top of my list. There is no way to describe the ride in writing except to say WOW. Dennis did a fantastic job in finding the roads ( and the curves ) we rode on. Our ride led us to some of the most scenic places that are best experienced on a bike. So to conclude this I can only say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so take a look at a small sample of the hundreds of pictures that were taken...

What can I add to Mark's description except to say - AMEN, BROTHER! This has been one of the best rides Tracy and I have ever been on. The beauty, the bikes, the babes er significant others... all perfect. The roads - unbelievable!! Thanks to Dennis for being an excellent Ride Captain as well as a great job planning, organizing, keeping us all in line, and listening to sleepy riders bitching (just me?)!! Thanks to Wes for supporting the group - as usual - by stowing gear, riders, and being there for us all of the time. Thanks to Mark for a great job as tail gunner - and for picking up the rear (make your own joke). And, of course, thanks to everyone on the trip for helping to make this a very memorable ride! I really wish this ride could have gone on a lot longer...oh well, we still have the pictures.
