At least I didn't drop the bike...

We got through the rider training with hardly a scratch. Denny had a little issue, but I'll let him tell the story. Nothing too tough, just a quick stop exercise from 20 mph, a swerve exercise, and practicing picking up a dropped bike. Had the main rider's meeting at Post 64, with Uncle Dick and National Commander Rehbein addressing the troops. Both were very good, and reminded everyone of what we're here for. Commander Rehbein will be riding with us for the first two days, on one of the trikes.

Our KS group is planning to stage at 0430 and leave the hotel at 0500, so this will be short. Tomorrow will be a long day - our last gas stop is at 1830 hours, so we won't be in the hotel in Wheeling WV until after that.

The registration table. Exciting, yes?


At the post before heading to the rider training grounds. Dave looks positively giddy, doesn't he?


The bikes and the training grounds in the background.


After the training. T and Denny are plum tuckered out.


The group assignments! Where am I?


Back at the post before heading out to find a better mic for my CB. And when I say "find", I mean go on a wild goose chase. What I have will just have to do.


That's it for today. Tomorrow the run starts! Wheeling, here we come!
