The weather was great today with temperatures in the 60s and cloudy. Rain and colder temperatures are coming in late today but the Polar Bear good-weather window was open and almost every single Polar Bear was here today.

Bob, Joe, and Betty from GWRRA NJ-F rode with me today. |

I'm sorry but I just love the chrome on this bike. |

Goldwingers always have an attention getter, in this case perky Brenda, with a Polar Bear hat. |

I was constantly dodging all the arriving motorcycles. |

They just keep coming in. |

Guys and gals enjoying the perfect weather |

The Inn was very busy and crowded so many just stayed outside. |

Winter riding is so much fun, even when it's more like spring. |
|
Some groups just parked where they could in clumps. |
|
Well, if the traffic gets bad, I'll just go across the field. |
|
CaptBlack (AKA Superman) rides with Lois. |
|
I think he sells ice cream bars on the side. |
|
Phil and Nancy chat in the corner behind the Flight B sign-in. |
|
Riders are starting to queue up just to get out of the parking lot. |
|
Leo arrives late, somewhat bewildered to see so many bikes. |
|
The exit backup is getting longer. |
|
Some riders are waiting for a break in the traffic. |

There definitely was a lot of stopping going on. |
