I didn't feel so great this morning so I opted for the car. As it turned out, I felt pretty good the whole day.

It was cold and very windy today. I didn't see hardly any motorcycles on the road. They were all in the parking lot as I arrived. So many early birds.

As I pulled up to the toll gate, there was a one-way light controlling traffic.

Polar Bear riders ahead of me on the way.

Yes, the lot was pretty full when I arrived.

Waiting around for the sign-up to start. Lots of riders were busy on their cell phones.

This group finally realized that it was cold standing around and headed for the door.

My F-Troop friends got here before me.

No need for Hippo Hands here.

Well, I'll be darned. Leo is selling his bike. A trike is in his future.

Parking around the rear circle

I just love black with maximum chrome.

I believe this departing group is the same as shown in this video.

CaptBlack took a picture of me (see below). I then reciprocated with this.
