Well I got up about 7:30 got me some coffee and loaded up the bike to head to Woodward.  the weather is supposed to be good horary  this is one in a row! I was on the road by 9:00 with a 3 hour ride I would be there by noon which will give me  a bit of time to visit with every one before we head out! well I filled up the tank at the corner where 33 and 74 cross then headed west on 33 this is a good road so you can cruise and just enjoy the trip! I slowed down for Kingfisher, but that is about it! then it was on to Watonga  then Seiling and finally into Woodward, I had not been to the new office for abate 69 so I did have find it! 

but it only took me finding one bike on the streets of Woodward got get directions! he told me to just follow him  he was not going to get to go but he was headed past the office! once there I got off my bike to a warm welcome by all the brothers and sisters! it took me 15 min just to make my way into the office to pay my entry fee!  when I came out Garry met me and told me he had a rider that could take pic for me! he told me she had been riding with him some taking pic! I said ok that will work so I got my camera out and took a few pic with it before we loaded up to head out.  Garry introduced me to Kay  "AKA" Girlfriend!

I loaded her up and we all headed out once Capt Abate gave the safety lecture! a necessity when you ride in a pack! riding in a pack takes following a few hard fast rules! riding in a pack will teach you to be a better rider because you have to be aware of other riders and what they are doing! one of the first rules is stay behind the road captain and pay attention to what he says and all his signals! keep  a safe distance between you and the rider in front of you based on your riding experience and abilities they are different for each individual! Well we finally got on the way with kaye taking pic with my camera! Garry told me she knew how to use the camera and he had been having her take pic! he didn't tell me he had her take multiples of everything! 

I'm used to take a good one and go on! anyway she took lots of pic as we rode!  she did a good job as we were riding and I concentrated on being the pilot for the bike! after the first stop I ask her if she was comfortable riding with me, she said she was very comfortable! I told her I was going to pick on her a little then! she said ok! Since I had done this with my Ole Lady and one of my kids before I knew it made good pic! so I had her get on the bike facing backward since this leg of the trip is normally only about 20 miles!
