:-[ I am sorry to say that Ava and I will not be able to attend the Rally in the Redwoods. A family emergency and subsequent death took care of this years discretionary budget dollars. And since I don't have the US Treasury to just print me more, hard choices had to be made.

This will be the first year in about 6 years without at least 1 bike trip.

Have fun and ride safe.

Charlie

That's too bad, Charlie. I was looking forward to seeing your new paint job in person. Well, you're right - stuff happens. "stuff" prevented me from going to MV. Take care.
