From Day One of GTR2010 in Covington. 42 miles this morning from Social Circle to Madison and back. We are really having fun reconnecting with those we've met at prior GTRs and meeting the newbies who were lucky enough to get in this year. This is our 6th in a row, since Madison in 2005, and we are starting to feel at home, I think.
Big accomplishment today was turning 3000 miles on our bike. Yes, that is only 600 miles per year, not nearly as many as we had hoped to ride, but still far more than we would have without "the trusty steed" as Alan calls this bike. I feel like we are about to get to where it was worth the money we spent. And hopefully we will be riding it for years to come.
At this rally we are the 5th youngest team. The oldest team of two is Mary & Ray Fry. He is 75 and she is 80. The oldest team of three is Linda, Eric and Eric's dad Don, who is 83.
GTR is all about socializing, eating and riding, in that order. We had a party near the square in Covington last night and walked around the downtown area. But first we had dinner at Shane's BBQ, a homey place with a Clemson connection. Shane's grandfather played football at Clemson before WWII. Tonight there's an ice cream social and tomorrow both lunch and dinner are catered events for our group. Hope I ride enough to burn off all these calories.
