It was good to see everyone, as I was not sure if I was going to be able to ride yet. But I did, and I also enjoyed seeing new faces. Thanks for my OTR points!

Comment by David kenney on May 7, 2012 at 6:34am: Great ride. Finally nice weather. Looking forward to more good weather riding.

Comment by James Shelton on May 7, 2012 at 3:21am: First, a huge thank you to Rick for all the planning he did for such a great ride. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this one an 11 ! It was good to see the gang again and thanks to all for such a great day. I really enjoyed the various road types and speeds and the length of each leg was excellent. Round trip for me, 205 miles, longest to date.

Comment by Ernie Goble on May 6, 2012 at 9:27pm: Had a great ride today, my fifth club ride, and my longest to date, at almost 182 miles. Keep meeting new people and/or matching names and faces. I added David, Dave, Christie, Samantha, Carol, Scott and Peggy to my growing list. (probably some others, but my feeble memory is being taxed) Great group, and I look forward to the next ride.
