Again, a great day. Sorry many of you could not join us. Don't forget the 'Clam Bake' Ride in two weeks to Elizabeth City, NC. Hope to see you there.

This was a great rally! Good friends, fun roads, great scenery, perfect weather, and tasty food made for a very enjoyable weekend.

Here are a few photos.

About halfway through Saturday's ride we stopped for lunch at Edna's Restaurant in Chatsworth. A couple of us opted for their exceptional peanut butter pie for dessert. We were so stuffed from lunch that nobody wanted to eat that evening.

That BBQ place has great food. I should have come back up to get a little of that too. Next time, for sure!

I wanted to come down but lack of time and funds interfered plus I was on call and couldn't swap. All hell broke loose at work so I was needed here anyway. Next rally in Suches I will try harder to make! Anyone going to the BRMC this year? I am headed to the Clambake, the Mountain Momma, and the Amish, Want to visit Cruso NC again too.

Thanks for posting the pics, I can at least get some vicarious enjoyment! :rolleyes:

Glad all are home safe, looks like you had great weather, unlike last year! More pictures, more pictures! Cheese your ST really looks great, looks like you even polished the tires! Look forward to seeing more. I hope you will be able to make the Mountain Momma in June.

Looking forward to meeting you at the upcoming rallies. Just took a few minutes to checkout Cruso, NC on youtube. Planning on running up that way towards the clambake. We spent a lot of time on the BRPW during my childhood. Looking forward to getting up there on two wheels for a while very soon.
