    Great pictures Jason! Glad most of the folks braved the conditions. Would have loved to have gone and met everybody.

    Hey, if you get bored, attach some more names to those pics.... :lol:

    Yes indeed. I would have felt right there comphy at home in those rain pix. Ran into a bit of rain on the way to work this AM at 02:30 in Abbotsford/Langley. Look'n for them damned HA's on the way home but I guess they heard ol Chea Chea was on the road and they made themselves scarce.:vader:

    Well Boys I had an awesome time! Thanks for making me feel like I belonged with ya all!
    You are a great bunch of guys to ride with, very courteous and remembering the gal at the back on the line.....Thanks!

    I also want to thank all of you for a great ride. I enjoyed every part and aspect of the epic.... (Who said that?.. ) journey.
    The technical portion at the top of baker in the pouring rain was my favorite stretch (my triceps still hurt from muscling "Raya" back and forth); it was the part of the ride that made it a real adventure.
    Emily truly impressed me with her abilities and adventurous spirit.

    Enjoy! (and thank you again)

    Mt. Baker rides just have my number, every time it starts out dry and waits till I get to the good part and starts pissing down rain :rant: to make things worse, I temporally lost my mind after missing a turn for the ferry and got a well deserved ticket, first ticket in twenty years :Cry:

    It was great to finally meet the Canadian VFR riders and my buddy JasonSmith, you guys have a great atmosphere on your rides. Here's my contribution on the pictures, my tripod worked out perfect :smile:
