24 HOB

[El Capitan]

Looks like it may be a scorcher for next weekend.. Frank is loaning us his big EZ UP.
Maybe one more will be a good idea if anyone had a spare..
I will bring Tanya . She has been cooped up for a year now.. She is a pain to carry in and out, but this is a special occasion.
I will bring the banner as well..
Everyone rest up this week and prepare for 24 hours of pure joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ain't skair't...I'll help with Tonya...she probably needs to get her hair done and new clothes, not sure she still fits in her old ones, and her nails, lawd!

phew... Not a spectator friendly event. I wanted to stop in and see the peeps but parking 'legally' seemed unobtainable.
Even had a Red Bull for Niks. I guess I'll just have to sign up for next year. Anyway,hope everyone gets all the miles they want.

Now time for sleep.

Bill - next time try parking somewhere else in town and riding your bike to the event site!

Thanks to everyone for another fine time! Well done!

I think it is safe to say that everyone had a great time out there this year.
Can't wait to do it again!
Spencer, Gothic , and the battalion of volunteers did a wonderful job keeping us hydrated and happy! Thanks to the Rank Riders who stopped by and visited.
Special thanks to Jon W for the breakfast burritos in the early AM and Tecates later in the day. They really hit the spot.
