WEEKLY UPDATE

 

Thursday Boo chilly 21 degrees as I rolled out...I was met by Mike Hodges,,,, and soon Mike D, Bob and Steve rolled up to HH. A few phone calls and we were informed Marjie, BOOP, Hala, and Adrienne would be following us in cars. A quick blast out I-540 then back roads to US-64 in Wilsonville... then a pit stop at the Citgo station, where we met Gail, Gene,Ducka and others from JLC. Soon there was a line of bikes, and along came Johnston county chapter... Once everyone was warmed up.. we headed to Siler City... The remainder of JLC, was waiting there along with Cape Fear, and Port City chapters. we headed to Asheboro for our "lunch date" photos at

All of Bob's gizmos caused his battery to fail in Siler City... so he climbed into one of the cars for the final push. Once we'd eaten, and mingled... Mike H headed for "work" so Mike D, Steve and myself headed for old Liberty Rd. We then returned to Siler City... where Bob had gotten his bike started... (seems he made BOOP, and Marjie push him down a hill.  a fun day all in all... and a nice 165 mile start to 2009's ride total

 

Friday 
 

The small crowd at Stromboli's didn't hamper the merriment.... we tried to figure out Mike H's electric woes on the Nomad.

Saturday  

 Alain, Steve and myself went to the Reading of the names. We hooked up with SR as well as CF chapters, and a couple of CF members took part in the ceremony . We then headed south to Holey Smokes on Tryon Rd, for some delicious brisket

Sunday
