May is my Month, especially the first week. 5th of May is special to me since I was 11 and before I knew about or what Cinco de Mayo was. May is also Mothers day, and next to my own Ma, Mother Nature is dear to my heart and she has never failed me on this date to rejuvenate me from any winter she just put me through. That one day back in 1975 has stuck with me as I laid down in the cool lush green grass, dandelions, clover, flowers..and felt the 80 degree sun on my face. Ride my bike down to the Swimming pool and smell the chlorine...ah to be young again.
Even the 22 years I spent in Washington state, this date never failed me and my Son and Daughter planned our first float trip of the year on the East Fork of the Lewis river around it.
Since January I have begged for anyone planning a ride to choose this date. Ok so this that didn't work out so, since the date was open, I knew I WAS going on my new Bike, lil Nel, even if solo. Hoped to have a few buds live near by join at most maybe 3-5.
So far I think I have at least 10 confirms maybe as many as 15. Would be great to make this an annual event, since Mother Nature seems to love me this time of year
I appreciate all the positive response and look forward to meeting everyone and having an awesome day.
I have talked to Angie at Rolling Hills bar&grill, and she is expecting us and I am sure the food as well as the service will be superb.
We have some "Legendary" BTKer's joining and I know this area is one of Roger Baugh's favorites, founder of BTK.
