Fixed it. Apologies to Trek, Specialized. (They do all look alike...
.....but that was a very nice bike).

What a great weekend! The route and companions couldn't be beat. Bike Forums meet ups/rides never disappoint and this is no exception. I look forward to our next adventure. Thank you Dale for planning and hosting this event

Good to see you guys had great weather and some primo riding.
I have relocated the entire inventory of steeds to their new home, but that's just the opening portion of the move. Had a bit of a scare when I arrived at the new homestead and opened the U-Haul to see that two utility shelves and the boxes and bins in them had toppled onto some of the bikes. What initially looked like potential catastrophy, was only a matter of two handlebars getting pushed out of alignment.
The entire time was packed full of unloading, returning the U-haul (which was a much greater adventure than we had counted on), doing some cleaning, and putting things in their places.
Once we get all settled, it will likely be mid-July, and then can set about to get back in riding shape, and learn the area. Should be much fitter and more successful for 2020 than I would have been this time around.

Ah, the adventures of moving. I'm hoping that we'll be going down that path too, sort of. Not really, but you know what I mean.
As long as the bikes are at the new place, the important part of the move is done, right?
The ride is a little more difficult than I intended, mainly because of the hills right after the start. If we had a few miles to warm up, the hills would not be as much of a problem, but you ride where the roads go. Sometimes they go up, sometimes down, and mix in some rights and lefts, and you have a nice ride. VERY courteous drivers in LBL, not a complaint to be found. Even the motor homes pulling boats on trailers gave us plenty of room while passing. Big trucks pulling big horse trailers too, very courteous and careful. Everyone in LBL seems happy to be there, respectful of others, and it shows. Off the soapbox.
Looking forward to seeing you at next year's ride, and sooner if we can work it. Good luck with the rest of the move and getting settled in.

That's nightmare stuff right there.
