I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Now that we are trying to
recover, I would like to form up for the "Frozen Bum Run" on January
1st.
 
We will be heading to South Carolina to ride around Lake Wateree and
return to the Gastonia area. The ride will start at PJ's resturant and
we will depart at 10:30 AM.

I will post the route this afternoon, and if anyone would like the GPS
file , please send an email to steve.palmer@filetek.com.

Lets get out for this first ride of 2007.

Looking at the forecast, I think you're gonna get wet. It has been raining here in east SC all day today.
Be safe if ya go.

Well, you ain't a real rider if you don't ride in all kinds of weather.....  

I don't mind wet, I don't mind cold.... it's cold AND wet that I can't handle!

Welp, I just walked in the door, unloaded the car and put a 4 year old to bed...I think I missed it.

How was the ride?

Many of our "hearty" pack made our 3rd annual January 1st "Frozen Bum Run." The route involved the loop down the west side of Lake Wateree via the Lake Road and then back up the east side via SC97. Started a little later than planned but all arrived back in Charlotte around 4pm. (The marina could have sold over $100 worth of dry socks if they'd known we were coming!)
