the ORGANIZERS

5:54 AM, Thursday morning after riding some 290 miles;  Looking pretty good;

5:56 AM, Thursday morning after riding 4 miles; looking bewildered by a banana 

6:40 AM Thursday morning as 8 of us head up the shore, Chris asks:  If that thing only has one gear, how do you keep up?

6:41 AM Thursday, Chris sees the squiggly road ahead sign and thinks "oh oh . . . my cue cards don't show that!"

6:54 AM Thursday    DAMN . . .   (no worries, just 6 minutes early)

7:23 AM Thursday    STAY BACK . . . THIS ONE'S MINE

7:23 AM Thursday   This is a great life . . . livin' the dream

Thanks to Kayla at the MOCHA MOOSE!

8:05 AM Thursday  A little gravel side trip

8:22 AM Thursday  "Tell me again why you wouldn't want to live here!"

8:22 AM Thursday  "Are the boats in the water?" (quote from unknown or at least undisclosed, clearly confused rider . . .)

8:27 AM Thursday  the ORGANIZERS just before the testosterone kicked in.

  From this point forward the author was simply too busy trying to keep up to worry about photos
