Well! The 2009 8 Lakes Leg Aches is in da books! And, as usual it was a great ride. It was a hot one, but the organizers had thought of everything and we were all well taken care of! :thumb: Well stocked rest areas and the Christian Motorcycle Association and Sag support vehicles were everywhere. By far the best rider support that I have seen. Well done! Davids Pizza and Ben and Jerrys? Stuff that good should not be allowed around a guy my size! :D
