I finally caught up with my buddy, Ralph, this afternoon; He is the fellow that was riding the blue H-D Road King on the Canadian route ride Weds the 13th morning and afternoon. Ralph and his wife had been traveling across the US since September 17th, and they got back home yesterday.
anyways, being that I hadn't seen him since we parted company that Wednesday afternoon, after while we were discussing the Canadian Run. Ralph said he had a very good time. tumb2

He was surprised, though, when a fellow rider in a full face helmet approached him, when everyone was gathering up in the restaurant's back parking lot after breakfast, and told him "another ride" was planned for May. But, the fellow's face was partially shrouded by the full face structure, and he turned and disappeared into the crowd. :-?
Initially, Ralph thought the mystery man may have been Blue Thunder (Brian), but thought otherwise when he saw a different full face helmeted rider getting onto Brian's CTX.

Who might that mystery man, have actually been?

Worked well for me, having the Capricorn so close was a big win for those not wanting to bring linens. Next time let's make the best hotel a second official choice to the Campground. Cliff did that this time and it was a great choice.

Speaking just for myself .... I'm going all out next season to do the Deadwood Run .... pretty big deal for me both in time and $$ .... so the rest of the season will be low profile .... but save up for 2019 when we are going to do the Cabot Trail Run ....

That's true .... perhaps we could add a couple of days onto the backside of Paris shindig and do a small local ride in the area ?
