All,

We spent a lot of time and effort into planning this trip, as this will probably be our sanctioned ride, given we get enough pull from the surrounding groups. This is the second time we've been up as a group, but this was our first as an official TLC chapter. We were all for inviting everyone close by, but we wanted a dry run before we committed to a lot of people. I know how much planning you guys put into GSMTR, and we were far from that level of organization.

This years trip, we did not go up to the VA line, we ran out of time on Sunday, and needed to head home. Last years trip we did, and ran into sleet and flurries. Next years trip, I'm going to propose doing that first, and heading south, ending at Ocracoke.

Stay tuned, as I think I'm going to go ahead and set a date for next years Spring Tide Ride 2010. Of course we're going to have it in April, and if you know what the meaning of the name of the ride, you can figure out which weekend I'm going to lean to...
