All that from the guy (and gal) who came in second!
It certainly seemed like a well-attended rally. I came at the end to eat, but was impressed by the folks who ran in it (and the folk who ran it). Maybe if you added Matt's and Han's ages together you'd get the average age of the folks there. (At least the low end of the upper quartile!) Indeed I think they were the youngest. There were three V-Stroms (all 650's), I think three ST1300's, at least that many GoldWings, a Versys, FJR (we helped to push start), and a few Beemers. Maybe a KTM? A lot of Darien and other Aerostich apparels were present. The fellow who won said, "I had a good radar detector." He also had hands that looked like they could palm a hole-less bowling ball. And one fellow I didn't meet had his new BMW smashed by a hit-and-run car rather early. Police found the car, but no word if they had insurance, and not sure if any bones got broken yet. He was apparently more upset by what happened to his bike than to himself.
Still a very good crowd of serious LD'ers, including our own rats4ever (Matt) and his better half. Not bad food either. I'm glad I showed up. Maybe a few electric clothing items and a year later I'll even "rally."
