I have been through Washington before. Its a beautiful small town. BRAG is supposed to go through there next year I think. We were having trouble finding Hotels to book for the ride there.
I am originally from Toledo, Ohio but have been in the South for over 30 years.
The weather is challenging to say the least. I have worked outside my whole life so I am used to that. We can ride all year long, most of the time. The cold weather bothers me more than the heat. You didn't mention the bugs man? It's cold now so they have given us a break.
Thanks for the welcome.
