That picture brought a chill to me.

I am also not so sure that part of Friday could be classified as a "Great Ride".

So ----- who is in the photo? And where is it? And is that snow on the ground?
















This is like 20 questions. Must be a male thing.

Umm.......I have a better picture for id-ing everyone:

I can't answer on the 'snow', since I left them for a different route - one that didn't involve the white stuff. I'll never hear the end of that one.

That is me in the red hat. We were running out of room, and I was quite comfortable in the chair.

That picture has me(facing camera, white helmet, on left), scottybooj(yellow jacket), wncbmw(grey jacket), machew01(tall guy), MikeCam(taking picture).

That was the lesser of the snow storms I encountered. The big flakes were falling for about 20 miles on US 33 from Elkins to Seneca Rocks. Everyone in the picture faced snow on their way to lunch at Seneca Rocks, WV.

John we were disappointed that you wimped out on lunch Friday.

When I post my picture link, there will be some more snow shots!

As we said Friday evening, what doesn't kill you, makes for better stories!

That snow will get deeper every year at the Bash from now on! :lol:

(For the record, it got about 2" before melting off)

DJ, that day, friday sucked big time once i hit W. Virginia. It poured on me and seeped through every nook and cranny! I stopped at a town just before Seneca Rocks where the guys were eating lunch. I had figured that I missed them so I took my time searching for some things to make the final part of my journey 'dry-er' at a army-navy surplus joint.

So, I make it out of there and drive by Seneca Rocks and up the mountain where I start seeing snow on the ground. I'm thinking, f&%k!!! I'm wet and now I'll freeze! But lo and behold, as I'm topping a mountain, there's a bunch of bikes that look like beemers sitting on the side! :shock: I turn around while they're staring at me wondering who I might be and it turns out to be Vann(wncbmw), Cam, Jeff(biff), and mike(machew)! After my long and weary wet journey, seeing them brought warmth to my heart! :P

Thanks for posting the group shot. It's great to put the mugs with the thugs! :lol:

At first glance I thought I saw myself there, but it was JB44 (twins sons of a different mother?) Sure wish it had been me! Maybe next year I'll get enough time to go... Glad you all had a good time and got home safe.

ADIOS!
