BBDave Adventure Ride Photos!--Lotso' Them!

[BumbleBeeDave]

Here are the photos of one of the best damn times I've had on a bike and with friends in a long time!

Thanks again to Smiley and Karen for their overflowing hospitality!

BBDave

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . checks in for the ride, with another rider who I am slightly embarrassed to say I don't recognize.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . get warmed up for the ride!

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . tries hard to get warmed up for the ride--and afterward! :rolleyes:

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . aka, BumbleBeeDave, Sandy, and Kevan, strike a studly pose!

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . discusses the finer points of bike fit with Keno, at right, before the ride gets underway.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . demonstrates the measures he will take on anyone who tries to pass him . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . with all riders making sure not to let CSB get too close with that wrench.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . and this is the last I saw of her! . . . Debbie also prepares to drop BBD like a bad habit.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . during the rest stop. Left to right: Sandy, Smiley, Flydhest, Karen, and BBDave

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . in front of Smiley's house. The wildly cheering crowds are just bareyl out of the frame to either side.

[Kevan]

pictures of me for a nominal fee.

Thanks BBD! It's all comin' back to me from my drunken blur of the event.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . congratulate each other on leaving BBDave gasping and wretching in a cloud of their dust.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . cruise back in.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . relax while waiting for the rest of the peloton to catch up . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . finally managed to wobble back to Smiley's yard--but just barely.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . guarded the homestead while the peloton was on the road.

[BumbleBeeDave]

Pbbob, Ellen, and Smiley relax on Smiley's wonderful back deck.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . graciously handled the grilling duties.

Thanks for the photos, it's great to connect faces to names. I can almost see Sandy hammering down the road, well almost.
Looks like it was a fun ride, what was it 2 or 3 times around the block? :rolleyes:
The best looking of the whole bunch is your dog ;)
I will remain forever anonymous as I am a Luddite and do not own a digital camera.

[Smiley]

Thats our Joy , the guard dog "shar-pei" extrodinare :banana:

[gasman]

Joy is a fine looking dog with a face everyone can love. :D

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . of all that great cookin' . . . .Mmmmmmmmmmmm! . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . shows us his best side!

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . but they showed up for the party, so we let them in. The guy looked real thin--like he needed a good meal--but he seemed disappointed that we had no donuts . . . no one seemd to know them.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . quickly attracted Sandy's attention as he tried to relocate his own bike.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . aka "Captain Nice" enjoys the fine afternoon weather in Smiley's backyard with TooTall(?) . . .

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . did their best to ignore us.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . quickly showed up to make sure our party was not violating any local code ordinances. Here the health inspector uses his "Stink-O-Meter" downwind of Sandy before he took a shower.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . Flydhest did a dance for the appreciative female crowd.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . to pose for one last group photo!

[flydhest]

I'm going to have to sue you after laughing so hard that I disturbed my colleagues and got fired for it.

:no:

besides, it's just that dang Euro sizing on the jersey and the faux denim tights that makes me look fat. I'm actually svelte.

[Cranky]

You guys are having way too much fun! Guess I'll have to move back East! :D

[TimD]

Great shots, great captions, thanks for posting those!!! I need a laugh right about now! :)

[keno]

I can see you putting the late edition to bed now.

Many thanks,

keno

[BumbleBeeDave]

Just don't hire Kevin!--he has photos of you that make this look tame!

BBDave

[Serotta PETE]

Thanks for the laughs...I really needed them this week. AND IT BROUGHT BACK GREAT MEMORIES OF THE WEEKEND>>>>Anxiously waiting for June Open House. PETE :beer: :beer:

[Ken Robb]

so that's what you all look like---not bad kids.

[Ken Robb]

uh-oh--in that prone, face-down shot---what's that in your shorts?? Aren't you both too old and yet too young for that sort of accident?

[Kevin]

Great photos of some great people. I wish I could have joined the ride.

[pale scotsman]

Dang BBD, I thought I was pale! Guess I'm gonna have to change my moniker. Great ride report sir!

[Andreu]
