Man, what an awesome day by the river! HUGE thanks to Roger and his people for putting this on. Mike, thanks for posting these updates. Fun to open the computer up and check things out as they happen.

I only have a few pictures.

Just got in the garage, great weekend! Many thanks to Roger and crew for a great event.

Some pics.

Driving day, first stop..... Texaco where I moved from Group 1 to Group 2. Group 1 was fun but the constant high pitched sounds coming from my wife in the passenger seat signaled that the "spirited" group was maybe too much, so we pedaled back some and enjoyed a "brisk" drive in the group led by Roger and navigated by Jeff. Wife was much happier after that.

Great time as usual. The event was bigger than ever before and it was fun to meet all the new folks as well as see all the regulars. There were 4 first timer's from Houston, and they all had a blast.

I didn't bring the DSLR this year, but here are some cell phone pics.

The red cars from Houston (including Peter's twin turbo who joined en route from SC)



The complete Houston Caravan


Lots of red


Lunch parking lot


One of two pits at Salt Lick BBQ (my first time, this place was amazing)




The winery stops...










Today's Show and Shine at the lake house












I've also got some good video, including Just Peachy on the road that I'll put together soon and post to YouTube.

What happened?
A somewhat minor hit to a guardrail by one car almost turned into a much bigger event because, as I understand things second hand, if you damage state property (a lovely gray guardrail) and don't turn yourself in to the nearest reeducation camp they don't appreciate it.

Thanks to one of our own who was in the group, a DFW area police officer, things downgraded quickly from black helicopters and machine guns to the ticket book.

Apparently we very much value our great looking guardrails here in Texas.

Looks like a great time! I'm going to have to make it down there next year, but November is always tough for me...
