What it is we will examine later. First the all-important stats, 110 miles, 7 Sandies  and we ate at the Outpost. Yes Rose, that Outpost of  local Motorcycle fame. Today it is known as the Oar House.    You would not recognize the place, it is completely  different. Food was good Staff outstanding. Jim and Anne   W  liked it. Oh I didn’t mention that Jim  and Anne  rode with us. Yep and it was simply outstanding to have them with us. It has been way too long for them Riding with us.  Now we also had Sandy S  along which always ups the weird quotient . The ride over was outstanding, weather perfect in the mid 70’s.  Gotta thank JoeJoe  for outstanding  Sheepdoging .   Now for that ugly rumor that usually when I lead a ride I bring on rain. Okay so it rained today but it is a coincidence. So weather folks said no rain and then it rained .  I realize that seems to happen a lot on my rides lately . But again I think it’s just coindence not some punishment from the Road Gods for some transgression..   In spite of the rain it was great Sandie Ride, good food and most of all great friends.       Reminder Next Sunday is Toys For Tots 9 am GTD. Lets ride together to The Harley Shop.

No, its not “Car 54 WERE ARE YOU”? If you can remember that chestnut you are just plain Old. No excuses you are Ancient, still hanging in there and Riding but… .   Actually, that my fellow swamp butt Sandies was today’s ride temperature riding on 285. Speaking of riding we had 11 Sandies , that my fellow travelers is great number of Sandies. A little soap box’en, a lot of the OG clubs aren’t even around, we can still put 11 Riders  on the road ?  That is pretty damn good adding that to 45 years of being around makes us doing something right.   Okay back on the Food Journey oh which we did 151   miles.  That number is a Certifiable Can-Am Mileage Count which make it Super Duper Accurate and  better than all others. By the way some of you Sandies are also Certifiable, which is scary as hell.   The surprise of the day Gregg L  joined us, on a Spyder. Before you get all a flutter, Greg’s  BMW is the Bike Hospital. Jackie  graciously loaned Gregg  her Ride. Jackie has had the ride a couple of years and is a regular rider. I’m sure we will have a picture or two for proof.   First the good news, well maybe not that good, I guess it’s like okay news. Tim ( The Bishop) W  has returned, not in handcuffs on Con Air, which we expected. Tim  has returned from Sicily, voluntarily I might again add. Seriously, which means not at all, Tim  takes really good photographs. Tim’s  photos of Church’s are just fantastic. Good to have Tim  back with us . Tony G ’s S2S,  that  is Sea to Sky,  in Can-Am speak, was the subject of a photo session. Seems some folks wanted to have their picture taken next to that good look’n ride. Tony  let them and  didn’t even charge, if it was a pony there would be a fee.   Bobby B  can be a real butt head. So I tell him of our plans for this cruise Sam  and I are going on. I casually mention I made plane reservations for later in the afternoon after debarking. Bobby  slowly shakes his head, “What” ?   Bobby  then says ”You know you have just doomed your trip home don’t you” ?. Then leaves the conversation, What the hell, don’t leave me hanging damnit. Fill the prophecy why don’t you .   JoeJoe  was busy taking pictures , remarked his SD card was full. You see JoeJoe  uses a digital camera not a IPhone. Well there must be 10,000 plus Sandie pictures on that card. It must be an incredible Sandie history depositary . Should be a great look at. Chief  Joined us today and its always great to have Chief’s  company on a Sandie ride.   Joe and Melany W  took time from their hectic Travel schedule and enjoyed todays beautiful ride. It was a super day to just be on a motorcycle the Road, the Food and the best the Sandies

Six Sandies volunteered at the annual Santa Rosa Island Triathlon. Three were on two wheels and served as Volunteer Course Marshals and three were there supporting the community and club. There were no judges to transport this year, and the event was sold out. There seemed to be a bit more traffic this year, and our three Sandie Marshals had to work extra to keep riders moving to the right (passing on the left only) and keep vehicular traffic from bunching up an ruining their ride. Most participants were smiling through the pain and enduring one heck of a breeze as they rode out across the island. I clocked us at 137 miles , which was (more than) a few trips back and forth on the 13-mile course. This was our first year without M2 Sensei coordinating and he is sorely missed. JoeJoe , Munchkin , and I ran the course while the Cat Herder , Sam E , and Ace kept watch. After all was said and done, we rode over to Navarre Beach for breakfast at Andy D’s.
