Been thanked: 1 time

Yes they were the same weekend, but if I knew there were sweet new jerseys with SkiNC/Southeast on them...I would have opted for the MS150 ride :D

So here we go children.



As a background info. - I started the journey some 6 months ago at the Snowshoe Summit.



The mild mannered lady in the middle caught me in a moment of excessive alcohol consumption and asked me to ride in the Tour to Tanglewood. Before I had time to recover I was signed up and headed for 100 miles of riding goodness.



So on a beautiful September day I packed up my bike and courage and off I went to NC. I was met @ Pink and Bultacco's house by the greeting committee





Saturday morning came quick. We arrived to the site of thousands of cars.





The site of all the riders was sort of poetic





Bultacco and Pink and Tim getting ready with some of the crew





So we rode off for 50 fun filled miles. The MS folk have not posted road photos yet but I will post them when I can. The terrain was really similar to North Fl so it was not too scary. The miles rolled along and other than a flat tire I really enjoyed the ride. I cannot thank the MS folks enough for the incredible organization. Everything you could think of was on hand.



Well after the ride we re-hydrated with the proper combination of adult beverages and basically had a great time













Did I mention the massage therapist we had on hand?





Old School Never Dies...





Robster Craws Rule!





Sunday was a great ride as well, maybe more so. The weather held long enough for us to get in the full 50. It started raining less than 30 minutes after we rolled in. All in all it was a wondrous journey. I want to thank Frances (SkiPink) and Keith (Bultacco) for hosting me and for all of the fellowship you shared. I cannot express my gratitude enough.



Finally to all of my SkiNC friends, NEXT YEAR YOU NEED TO RIDE!



NO JERSEYS FOR FREE! YOU GOTTA EARN IT!
