Thanks to our "Group Ride Leaders"

Just wanted to personally thank those that led our rides to the various locations we went.

Waterman and Kioti (as well as the "blockers" for the groups) had their hands-full leading and facilitating the group-rides to make sure they were as safe and fun as possible.

For those of us who know how difficult it is to lead rides -- I can tell you that you guys did a great job! :) ;)

Thanks gl, and thank you for playing tailgunner. I think the real big thanks goes out to our blockers; LW, SWB and Bumblebee (aka Todd). Without them it would have been a mess.

Me, I just lead a bunch of good people and had a lot of fun, a lot of work but well worth it when you saw the smiles on their faces.

My thanks to all those that organized and conducted the planned rides at Custer. Was great fun and I now have a new appreciation for disciplined group riding.

Thanks to the leaders and tailgunners. You made the ride great with your care and handling of such large groups.

As for us blockers, we had a lot of fun catching up to the front of the group, especially on those twisties!
