Day 1.

The folks from NY, PA and ON are coming in today. As soon as we get a call from Adrian we will begin.

Rick meanwhile is somewhere between here and PA, and will meet Evan for the last few hundred miles of thier journey. We will get a call from Rick when they get on 87 and then we will head over to Whitehall to meet them.

Adrian gets to the house around ten and the bike gets unloaded. We BS for a bit and then he and Sue head over to check in at the Days Inn.

So Adrian dashes back over

After hooking up in Whitehall NY we all headed back to Barre. Upon our arrival, we found Brett Trudy and Steve at the Holiday Inn. They were ready to kick back and relax, so they missed the big steak out. We told them we would see them in the morning for breakfast and headed the last 1/2 mile to the little house on the hill.

We sat around, BS'd for a while, and had some very large T-bones, courtesy of Rick and Deb, of Shippensburg PA.They tasted even better than they looked. It took a little thawing tough. Ricks Combination of cooler and insulated cooler cover had them still very frozen! Quite a feat, however, considering the heat and distance that they travelled. The setup he had worked well.

Evan brought smoked salmon and bagels for breakfast, and the crew was off to another PowWow of great food and good times as usual. The steaks are now a bona fide tradition for the first night of the PowWow. (They were last years first night dinner too.)

So after dinner and some fooling around, we tuck the bikes away in my basemant garage, and head off to sleep. The real riding begins tommorrow in the White Mountains of NH.
