Been home for about a day. I had fun and look forward to doing these in the future. Next time I will stay for a lot longer. I did around 2000 miles between Monday and Monday

My wife is in love with those things

Made it to NJ. too busy riding to take many pics. Had a great time. as for the little bike riding, HM was great. good mud, bikes still hook up... both days i was in a group of 6 or 7 that could ride. stop every 5 miles and everyone caught up within 30 seconds Wish i had my big bike there for a day because i really wanted to check out the tunnel and some other sights. Thanks to don and kathy for the hard work. Hope we didnt leave too much of a mess. I left a factory samsung charger in room 24 Don. It will work on your phone.

Yip Yip Hurray for the little bike mud fest I got my kickstand back on. Now to find what else I broke? good times!!

oh i tell ya. it was horrible down there at hatfield-mccoy central (sarcasm). had a great time. brazen13 was very pleased with the way her long weekend turned out. i had no complaints. the gravel parking lot? non-issue. the rain? non-issue. i dunno what all the naysaying was about previously in the thread. everyone had a great time, not sure i heard a single complaint. i'm betting there'll be no lawsuits either for anything.

after everyone left on sunday there was just brazen13 and i along with casey and his lovely wife. we had a swell time eatin' pizza and drinkin' shine. got a fire goin' from the remenants of the prevoius nights blaze. a grand time was had indeed.

i even brought home some souveniers.

our accomodations for the weekend

oh gnoes! our ride leader wanted to see what this hill climbing was all about


it's a big bike but he rode it well. he was rippin' up on the h&m trails later that day


the little bikes made it easy

it was getting warm out so we decided to take a swim


i am indeed a lucky guy to have found a ridin' partner like her


i kept passin' this old railroad tressle and i had to go out there


had a great time in matewan. if someone wants to step up and do byob again here, i'll be back. if not, we need to create a hatfield-mccoy annual event. the area is just too awesome to not come back.

Great pics and a great time! Group willingness to help was fantastic and really made the event memorable for me! Especillly gratefull to Kyle B for riding sweep, helping me pick up the bike (repeatedly!) and talking me though my first real exposure to mud. Much appreciated!

IT WAS AWESOME. THANKS. I will post the pictures I took as soon as I calm down and let it all soak in. Looks like yall rode in places I never knew existed around here and places I would never ride Lol.
