Our killer jerseys. Thank you Mike for making this possible!
Day 1
SkiSouthEasters Skiwryter, HNH, Skipink and Bultacco in front of our tent! Within 5 minutes of raising the sign, someone came over and asked which of us was responsible for his spending so much time on the website!
There were many comments on the jerseys and with the website prominantly on the back, many discussions insued with riders who would ask us what SkiSouthEast was about. We loved talking during the ride to others and gave away bunches of stickers back at the tent.
At the start.

The theme for this year's ride was super heros... HNH with one of the costumed.
Day 2
The forcast was for rain, rain and more rain. I woke up praying for thunder so I wouldn't have to get out of bed. No such luck. While it had rained overnight, there were patches of blue in the sky.
Not as many showed up for day 2 (only 8 instead of 12)
At the rest area, the sun was still shining.
We started out and it was beatiful but a little windy. Some in our group had planned to only ride 30 miles but we were having so much fun that we convinced everyone to continue on. However, the futher west we rode the darker the sky got and so at the turn for the 40 mile mark be decided that descretion was warrented. However HNH had come all this way to ride 100 miles in 2 days so he and Tim manned up and went on to do the full 50, arriving back at the tent just as the first rain began.
We had a great time and I can't wait until next year!
Sorry Mike, I know it's SkiSE but this is where it started for me. Thanks for everything.
