RCR-VIII: The Eigth Annual Right Coast Ride

Overview

The Eighth Annual Right Coast Ride was held on July 24-25, 1999 at Riders Roost motorcycle campground, near Ferguson, NC.  The Grand Oompah was Catness (aka larval god, stonehedge, tart! tangy! tasty!, Gwendolynn ferch Elydyr).

This RCR generated a truly phenomenal amount of traffic on the east list, unprecedented then and now.  I've judiciously thrown out some of it because it doesn't add information, is not really very amusing, and would really clog up this page.
