09-15-10 Guys Ride

Randy, Bill, and I headed out on what was supposed to be a ~1700 mile ride through Washington, Idaho, Montana, Canada, and back. The weather didn't quite cooperate, so we pared it down to ~1400 and change, but we still had an amazing time catching incredible scenery in Alberta Canada and other places.
