Lots and lots of bikes. About 96 to start with 90 solo and 6 two-ups. We’ll see what the real numbers are at 4PM today.

WWAD, What Would Ardys Do? Ride it like she stole it I’m thinking. Wish somebody would give me a few of these stickers. I miss her quite a bit. She was always fun to be around.

I hate when people take my picture and I’m trying to do some pretty important stuff. But, they look like they’re having a lot of fun.
