WEEKLY
UPDATE
ThursdayBoo 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.
