I'm guessing they are getting "hammered" right now too! :cheers: :killingme:

Image Bucho said let's go on a short ride to shakedown the bikes. Here we are only 9 miles in sweating our asses off and getting nowhere on this hill. No rain sunshine and clouds though.

Day 1: Phill, Jim, Janis and I got to Mate-wan around 3pm, checked in to the hotel and geared up for a "warm up/shakedown" ride. 3hours and one impassable hill climb later we returned , wet, muddy and hungry to meet the rest of the crew who were thoroughly lubricated. We had a great BBQ dinner served by Mrs Kathy at the inn.

Sorry, Im having trouble posting pics for some reason. That will have to wait till I get home maybe.

Day Zero: Went fairly well. Our crew all arrived on time and we were loaded up and rolling just a few minutes past 0800. I like beejaytee's pics. We rode in proper VanOWar style, swapping moto stories and playing metal on the radio.
Got in early enough to go for a good shakedown ride. It was supposed to be a relatively easy ride but I led us down one of the single track trails #149. It was muddy but not too bad. A good test for bikes and luggage.
But yes, there was a hill that "wasnt too bad" a few years ago. But now is uber rutted out and slick from the rain earlier today. After being ourselves to death a little we headed back for a nice bbq dinner
We all are excited for tomorrow's ride.
