    A fine group of riders showed up for the bi-annual Luge Flag replacement ceremony. With Eric (ericfoltz) leading the way and with Kevin's (FlynRide) help, Dave (Giddy) and his son David, Kevin (Xhuskr), Ken (KRands) and several more I didn't catch.

    A great day to ride and remember... Good pic Back of the Pack, you got that in one try!!! Ken and I rode onto Old Camp to check out the Rubiclone jeep, it seems to have moved further down the ravine than it was a few weeks ago.

    Thanks for those who brought up the new flag!

    Very cool, guys. Rode Whiting - Luge this morning and missed the ceremony by about an hour, would have planned ahead and met up with you guys if I knew it was going on. Sure was a beautiful day for riding.

    I would have liked to go along on this one, but would have hacked up a lung - bad cold I'm not yet done with.

    To my fellow veterans: I wish you fair winds and a following sea, and may the port in which you shelter be worthy of your presence.
