Toymaker, shoot the new members to the trip the shirt graphic showing "THE MOTTO" and explain it to them a bit so they understands it.

Some of them are new, after all.

.... and remember guys, we got us a SWMBO observer riding along on this trip to keep us "honest" this time.

< hee hee hee, keeping us honest >

Here is a very early pass at the motto layout .... no doubt it has changed since then.

M & M checking in here.

Last week I was out of town to Boy Scout camp.

Kel called and I understand we are meeting everyone at the gap Saturday instead of trecking to Toymaker's and back (sure appreacate the invite though).

So it looks like we (Kel and I ) will have some of the Gap explored befor we all meet on saturday. We'll try not to burn all the roads up befor ya'll get there , So if ya come across wrinckeled hot pavement you know we've been there allready.

Thursday is my first day of the ride (can't wait for the weekend)

T minus 4 and counting ......

Folks have all rung in now -- we are all busy getting our stuff ready and the strokes are getting shorter and shorter.

Please check which group we think you are in (below) and correct any errors, please.

Friday/Saturday arrive separately at the Gap group
Kel30734
DiamondJim
Seviersavage
MMRanch ??
Bigzuk

Friday night sleepover & early AM Saturday ride up from Toymaker's group
Toymaker
Lancer
Verslagen
Oldfeller
AlfromNH
Savagedml

Currently Undefined, but likely not going to the Gap
Ja01(Jason)
Ja01's Miss

Please check which group we think you are in (above) and correct any errors, please.

===========

Now, for the superstitious among you -- we are NOT 13 riding around on Friday so don't even start the Friday & 13 stuff up.

Toymaker, Ja01 and Miss are not moving anywhere at all on Friday, so we are 10 riding on Friday, not 13 .... 10 isn't a bad number (unless you don't like the number of fingers you were born with).

Now if you think 13 on Saturday is a wrong number, remember I will be driving the follow truck so that is an even dozen riders, which is a lucky number not unlucky.

So, all the superstitious folk among us need not worry, good 'ol Mary Poppins has all that evil superstitious numerology stuff all covered and properly neutralized.

"Poppycock & nonsense" sez Mary Poppins, dismissing it with a wave of her hand.

I'm still debating riding the bike the whole way (9 hours). So I may be leaving home on Wed. and splitting up the ride. If I tow then I'll be cutting out on Thur, and either stopping by Granite Falls, or somewhere between here and the Gap.

I could swing over to your house first. You could throw gear in the truck and then we can head out. Then do the reverse on the way back home. No problem at all for me. It looks like it may even be faster for me to go that route.
