Default 900 mile weekend
Well the weekend lasted from Friday (7 hours in the saddle) to Monday (got home at 2pm) and there were 6 of us including Kees.

Might even have some pics but was too busy riding to take very many....check back in the morning

Super Jealous... I need to find a new riding group/partner. My current buds are too busy and would prefer to look at their bikes...
