Gary J Memorial Ride 5/24 Sunday

Thanks to all who came out for the 'mini true grit' Gary ride!!

He would of loved the weather today!
 
Thanks for setting up the ride, B. Although the conditions weren't ideal, the ride was still fun and worth it. Good seeing you guys. Hopefully I'll join you guys again on the next one. Be safe out there :ride
 
Thank you to everyone who joined the ride today! It was really great to see all of you! I'm soooo glad I "came back home" from my short move to Maui :) Seeing all of you & chatting with many of you helped me understand that I belong here & that you're all a part of my support system! And for that I feel so very lucky! Gary was with us today!
 
I rode by on me road bike (pedaling) with a small group while you all were there. Called out his name as I rode by..:(
 
Thanks Bryan for organizing this ride.

Good to see you Jill "back home" & the "greenmobile."

Very nice meeting & riding with you guys yesterday.

Thanks Kurt for sweeping & your patience !

He was strong yet silent (so-to-speak).
Fast even on the smallest machines.
Caring and always giving.

He is missed but not forgotten.

Would love a high res version for the barf books.

Dave the vid is great.. thanks for that as well.:thumbup

Here are mine. These are from the meet at the start of the ride.

BigB did a nice job explaining the ride and all the riders rode with great respect. 35 got really wet and cold.. that was more than I expected.

He was cool enough to block 84 for us so we got onto our way to Stage road in one big group. :thumbup

I zipped up 84 to 1 and around to Pescadero to snap some pics.. I was waiting when I saw BigB stop at the stop sign... all of a sudden I went oh crap he is going to turn left and skip town..:|

I zipped forward and then they came my way.. so I pulled over quickly and started fumbling to get my camera out.. crap.. Missed some of you guys at the front.. sorry.

I scurried back on my bike and caught up to the pack just as they were parking at the parking near the spot of Gary's accident. I noted flying hun, crazy genius were not there. Hun was sweeping. I thought back to taking pics and went..hmmm not there either.. a little worry was resolved when they pulled up. That is when I got the story about the caliper bolt...!

Glad you made it home PorradaVFR

It was the first time I actually physically stopped there. The cliff was numbing.. for the first time of the day there were no smiles.. .until we got ready to leave.

We miss ya Gary.

After paying our respects a few smiles came back out as we got ready to ride home or wherever.

Once again.. thanks BigB.

Good to see some treasured old friends,, meet some new folks and remember one treasured friend that we for the most part all shared.
