Sandy got sick last time we tried this trip and I had to cut it short. Hopefully we will have better luck this time.

Fuel pump went out in our Honda Accord, so I'm out for today. :'(  It's gonna be a day of "renchin" instead of a day of "ridin"...  Already looking forward to next time, though!

Glad I chose to enjoy today's great weather on an equally great ride. Thanks for letting me tag along.  Pace was great (I'm not a fan of pirate parades). I will join you all again.

Looks like a fun ride.  I wish I could have made it but I was out of town and not riding.  I did run into this shady character that some of you may recognize.

It was a toy store in Helen.  He lives near there and I was just playing tourist with some family who were also in the area.  Just a coincidence we were there at the same time....it's a small world.
