The Joy Ride 2012 is complete but the memories will last forever

I am now home thinking of going to work tomorrow and all that comes to me is the memories of our daily breakfasts', Doug's coffee, anticipation of the upcoming ride, Sue's neverending attention to our wellbeing and the nights at the wonderfull little fleabag hotels. I would not have changed anything, the entire trip was perfect and I am already getting excited about next year. Some days were better than others but in the end we all made each day from beginning to end one way or another and nobody got hurt. Honestly, winding up in the car unable to ride each day was my biggest fear going into this thing. Thank you Doug, you are my hero and I love you to death. Bob, you are a rock and a great man. Gabe, you have so much going for you and have such potential...it was an honor getting to know you. Sue, well... you held us all together and really made this whole adventure possible, I will never forget what you did for us on this trip..Thank you and I Love You. Ok, with that said I need to post some more pictures because I didn't do much durin the trip as I did not take a computer and by the time everyone else was done I was sleeping. Saturday, July 7th - warm up day across the Golden Gate Bridge over some hills and through some valley's then back to Doug's house. Don't seem to have any pictures of this day???? Sunday, July 8th - Bob's house to Sacramento, mostly a really nice ride but blistering hot as we approached Sacramento.

More to come on next post.
