Well the 1st Minneapolis Grand Rounds ride is now history, but what a time we all had!!!!

The weather was great, a bit windy but the temp was perfect.

We all met at Randall-in-MLPS house to start the ride:

Below, left to right: Dave (DCColeman), Randall (Randall-in-MLPS), Greg (Graywolfs02), Erlinda & Jack (Jack in MLPS), Judd (Foos), Charlie (currently a forum lurker) and Ashley & Jason (Bird) Yes Jason rode his Harly we let him come along anyway

"On the road Again"

A rest stop at Jack & Erlindas house....wonder what thier neighbors thought with all the bikes lined up like this....A "Biker Gang" invading the neighborhood

Back @ Randalls place some of the gang had to leave during the ride, but all had a great time.

All left full of great food, great times and we're looking forward to another ride real soon....hope you all can join us.

P.S. Not too sure why I have two sizes of photos........

Looks like you had a great day. That means those bule skies will be in central PA on Tuesday.

Thanks to all who made the first unofficial gathering of the "Minnesota Transverse Twins Association" a success. It was great to meet some new faces, and to ride for a couple hours just to ride.

My wife shot some pics before we started that I'll add to the pile.

First is a picture of Greg, taking a picture of Heidi, taking a picture of Greg... (this corresponds to Greg's 3rd pic above)
On the left is Greg's lovely wife and riding partner, Joyce.

Here's a shot of Judd (Foos) waiting patiently for us to get our act together.

One caption note:
Chatting with Charlie in this photo from Greg's post is Don (Don), who couldn't make the ride but joined us afterward (and had clued me in to the triathlon being run on our route in the morning.)

Thanks again to all. We'll need to make a habit of this.

Looks like you guys had a great time.
I seriously considered coming up (Randall wanted to see a $250.00 SilverWing) but ended up having to work.
Keep me posted on any upcoming events.

Was a great time. Thanks for organizing it. I do have to make sure one thing is clear though that I didn't bring a harley (not sure I'd be caught one one) but instead a 2004 Honda VTX1300. It did make my brother who bought a harley for twice the price almost cry when he saw it :P. Maybe next time I'll bring the old GL500, that is if I fix the super squeaky suspension.
