Just got in, a total of 500 miles.

Mike and Julie, enjoyed the ride to Tombstone - didn't get to 100 degrees until we were on the way back and was 111 in Tucson. Julie, thanks for picking up the tab at lunch.

To the rest of the Tucson Crew, enjoyed the ride up Mt. Lemmon and the picnic once we got there - more free food.

Tony and John, thanks for the escort to Marana - going the rest of the way to Mesa wouldn't have killed you.

Tom, you got a killer deal on that Deuce - looks great.

Let's do the next ride up north.

I'm jealous....around here, Denver set a record yesterday for the lowest 'high' at 67 degrees...and it snowed on Berthoud Pass. You guys have it made...and I wish it was 111 around these parts so we could have some good riding weather.

You know where we're at and how to get here, right?

Al, I didn't get to see the Route 66 pin you are looking for. Can you post or send me a picture with the dimensions? I'll try to find it for you.

I appreciate your trying. It wasn't special; just a winged 66 on a white background. If its not there, don't worry much about it.

Joe...those are them...those are them! Man, I appreciate you doing this for me. Sheri and I crossed Trail Ridge Road twice yesterday...colder than heck. You and the AZ group ought to plan another ride to Colorado next year. There are lots of other places we can visit and that I'd like to show you all.

Al.

Thanks for the invitation, Al!! That sounds like a great idea. It may need to wait awhile, though, as we are planning on Sturgis next year, and I'm sure the 5th annual Green Chili Run!!

Do you want us to hold the pins until we see you? If not, pm Joe a mailing address. Or, maybe we can meet you halfway!!
