That's a negatoodle.  I thought I might be able to pop out early, but I am still nicely behind schedule.

I guess I can swing by... at least to look at bikes...

Actually had a pretty good turn out today.  Quite a few SBKs made it.  Dusty brought out the 999 with ARC Fab exhaust.  Damn that thing sounded mean!

Sorry I missed it, wound up autocrossing in the rain...standing water plus r-compound tires, yeehaw!...

Hey the rain caught us too. Coming back from the North Shore the cloudbase was on the ground. Rain started around Schofield/Wheeler and stayed with us until just uphill from the interchange. Went to Varsity for burgers and beers and the rain caught up with us there. Got rained on all the way home.

Yep.  Everyone on the H1 seemed to want to block the road and do no more than 30.

I left right after you guys and got rained on on the way home...I really didn't want to get caught in a downpour with my front tire...fun times!

Today also made me realize that I need to work on my riding skills...

Don't sweat it too much.  You were riding with a bunch of semi-maniacs who know the roads by heart, who have years of riding under their belts and who are riding super road machines. Plus not everyone rides like that all the time.

You can work on your riding skills while riding tail end charlie with me...
