We had a fantastic weekend's riding at the rally. Thanks to Donna and Ross Glasgow for hosting and doing such a great job. Coming from Long Island, the rolling rides were a treat especially the 34mile route on Sunday morning. There was little traffic on the routes and almost all were very courteous, often patiently waiting behind till it was safe to pass. Unfortunately, we didn't bring the camera so we have no pictures showing the beauty of the area. We also highly recommend the Iron Bridge Wine Co restaurant if you are in Warrenton. We had dinner there the first night we arrived and then went back for the 5 for 5 appetizers/wine/trivia on Friday night before the Ice Cream social.

We would definitely go back and that is saying something after having to put with the NJ TP/BQE/Belt Pwy/495 traffic coming and going from LI.

Cheers
Ian

Sorry, no photos either. I'm hoping that Donna Glasgow will have some posted out soon, as she was snapping away throughout the weekend.
