NEW LEADER & GELO ADVENTURE

As many of you know Bob was in Denver offloading his grand daughters last Wednesday, so a new leader was needed for the ride.  Here's the report as sent to me from Lois...

While our fearless leader was in "Rocky Mountain High" Colorado, 7 of us gathered to carry on the WNR tradition.  Jim & Cathy led Lois on her 2 wheeler, Meryle (welcome back), Dayton & Joan & Wayne on trikes and Dale with the top down.  As we rounded the corner heading through downtown, we met Daryl on his trike who then fell into formation.
We took 76 north to Dorchester Drive and followed that up to Spring Grove.  We then headed west and picked up smooth, black 4 and would our way through the lush, green Yucatan valley then hopped on 76 for a break in Houston.  We then headed over to Hokah, down to Brownsville then took 3 through farm country to Caledonia then 76 back to Waukon.
Bugsy joined us at Gus & Tony's to fill a table for 10.  Had 115 miles on Suzie when I Parked it.
Beautiful, quiet evening with the air feeling a little fresher than our recent excursions.
Here's a shot of us gathering at Casey's (Dayton getting camera shy); Cathy showing which way she thinks Jim should go; Gary seeing us off before packing for his CMA outing; and the whole group enjoying a stretch in Houston.

THE GELO ADVENTURE

As many of you know, Jim & Cathy Gelo took off on their trusty Wing for California and a ride down the Pacific Coast Highway.  For those of you who are not familiar with the PCH, it is listed as the best motorcycle road in the country for its fantastic scenery.  It's no doubt on every motorcyclist's bucket list.  I told Jim if he would keep us informed and send along photos, I would post them on the blog and keep our WNR following them.  So far here's what Jim sent.  Hopefully he will keep sending me the trip details, because it should be fun for all of us to follow along with them.

"Hi Bob-
Made it to Colorado Springs KOA today.  The first night we stayed in Kearney, NE.  Took 20 then worked our way SW to stay out of rain.  We will start into the mountains tomorrow.  I will try to get some pics sent your way.  I might have to let Cathy drive the bike the way it looks!"

FROM ALL OF US WNR's--"HAVE A SAFE TRIP,YOU GUYS!!"
