Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ~~ sorry brother...I don't mean to poke fun at ya - but I do believe that Early In = Early Out? 0700/0730 should see ya exiting the parking lot by 1300 or so.
Ride safe...

Any sailor that spent the war in one of those Boats damn well gets my respect.

Your forgiven!

Trivia:

Memphis has a facility that develops and test new propeller configs for the sub fleet.

"If your just going to watch, where do they let you park all those bikes?"

That's a tough one. It changes year to year. But, generally speaking, they have been setting up parking in the lawn and fields areas around the Washington Monument and the ball fields at the other end of the mall. When things get really crowded, like it probably will tomorrow, (nice weather causes a bigger attendance), they pretty much allow bike parking where ever space can be found. We'll be coming through Kent Island about 9am. If you would like to ride in with us are going to be going from that area or anywhere along Rt 50, let me know tonight.

Wow! What a ride! I loved it and I will do it again! Thanks Patriot HD for a wonderful and well organized ride to the Pentagon.
