http://www.valkyrieriders.com/socal/GOTF%20Ride/GOTF%20Ride%20Report.htm3838 miles from start to finish. It was a great ride but it is good to be home. Many thanks to Hotglue and Flamingo Babe for thier Texas hospitalty. It was great to meet everyone althougth it would be impossible to remember all of your names. Hope to make it next year as well. The food was fantastic and now I know what a real BBQ is all about. Dave aka BigMac SoCal

Great report Dave! Hope you get to go to Inzane this year. It's like a week long party, but without the great Q. Good to meet you and I hope you are back home and have gotten "comfortable" on your shorts and t-shirt. Hay  Jimmyt |

Great job on the ride report and it was nice to meet you.
Sorry the weather didn't cooperate on your return route. I made it back home to northern New Mex on Wednesday and you certainly could have had a free place to crash for the night.
Your riding partner and I had discussed a few options for your scenic return trip, I think the weather broke Tuesday/night and was definitely clear by Wednesday.
