I too made it home okay.  I rode out Sunday morning with Fredneck and Cate
(and Chrispy, with whom we parted ways after breakfast).  We took Skyline
Drive north for ~65 miles from Route 33 to Front Royal.  It's nice sometimes
just to cruise and look at the scenery without trying to peg scrape, and it
was free that day courtesy of "Dubya".  We took backroads from there to
Leesburg, the best being county roads 626 and 611 from The Plains to
Purcellville (nice roads if you can find them, especially not losing 626 as
it passed through Middleburg).  I took my leave of Cate and Fredneck as I
headed down to White's Ferry to cross the Potomac.  They wanted to start
taking a more direct route (further to go, etc.) while I took a well
travelled (by me) backroads route from there to home on the northeast side
of Baltimore.  I made it back in at exactly 7pm yesterday evening.

Many thanks to   =o&>o   (The Biker Formerly Known as Petke) for serving as
The Oompah for a truly outstanding RCR (official RCR motto this year:  This
one goes to eleven.).  It was as good as they get, and how he managed to top
it off with such superb weather is beyond my comprehension.  Thanks also to
Ian "Keeper of the Grounds" Howie for the life restoring fluids each
morning, and the rallycross ride to/from dinner in Harrisonburg on Friday.
As usual, it was great to get together with so many friends both old and
new.  I hope to see y'all again next year, if not sooner.

Mr. Bill
