In the fewest words, it was nearly perfect.

The KOA was an excellent choice -- far enough from I-75 to be
pretty much quiet (although the cows in the adjacent field did keep
some folks up), and up on a hillside with a terrific view and a nice
breeze. Oh, and the cabins had AC :-). Ed, the owner, was quite
accommodating, giving us 9 of 10 cabins and making sure we had
whatever we needed. We even had a nice camping area right
behind the cabins for the tenters.

The weather cooperated to the fullest extent -- a little hot at
midday, but with a cool breeze and clear skies. Cool enough that
while traipsing about on Saturday I actually had to close the neck
on the stich.

The roads ranged from the ridiculously technical (downhill steeply
off camber right hander) to the simply fun (looooong left hand
sweeper).

The catering was simply fantastic. Shiloh's Steakhouse provided
sirloins, baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, and veggies in
volumes huge enough to share with some other bikers that
happened to show up. We were also able to give Ed and his wife a
nice steak dinner, which went over really well. Mike Sayers made a
terrific veggie lasagna and made a heroic effort to correct for my
forgetfulness in getting it cooked. Big time thanks to Mike and the
crew from Shiloh's.

Of course, the RCR wouldn't be as good as it is without the folks
that show up. For those who couldn't make it, well, we missed you
and hope to see you next year at Dave Lawrence's shindig.
