Rolled in at 3am last night. I think Gwen and I did 500 miles on Sun, 30% of it was dirt. 
I'm butt-ass tired. Will settle up in the evening, but I will say that this past weekend was by far the best road riding I have ever done. Can't thank Gwen, John and Cathy enough for having me along.

Hi, All,
Chip and I just rolled into El Paso. 5045 miles is a lot to drive for a lobster and for a chance to ride a Ducati, but the K11OG friends are WELL worth it! I hope to be able to do it next year, and maybe I'll be able to ride there. Chip (brother-in-law) is right now planning to make it, as well as (maybe) Hungry Mother IV.
Thank you very much, John and Cathy, for again putting up with us. And thank you, Gwen, for picking up the lunch tab on Saturday. I can't wait to see all of you again!

Thank you John and Cathy!!!
What an AWSOME time. 
The food, the ride, and the stories.
Hurricane Mountain Road is to die for! I WILL BE RIDING THAT ONE AGAIN!!
I told Dave that he is now the ONLY person I've ever ridden with who has seen how I ride and the type of places and roads I like to ride when I'm alone.
I would have stopped more often, but we needed to be at Jeff's for dinner.
This was also the longest I've ever lead a ride and Dave made a wonderful riding partner. Yes Dave, I would ride with you anywhere as well.
I'll work on the Pics and RR today if I have time.

Gwen (Ms. fast draw with the Mex bill) Thanks for the lunch! It hit the spot after Hurricane Mountain
Hosting everyone was actually pretty easy- you are all folks that do what needs to be done and can make yourselves comfortable anywhere.
Whether it's handing out the stogies
Sitting around the table with coffee, dessert and friends
Hanging out in the livingroom
Or getting the obligatory group shot just before devouring some lobsters
Cathy and I had a GREAT time too.

I heard Gwen was doing wheelies in flip-flops. Is that true?

No but rumor has it that the Blue Sled hit triple digits with the first two of those digits being 1-3-
Don't ask me how I know. 
I have a ton of pics too. Will work on em this weekend.
Suffice to say this past weekend was the best road riding I have ever done by a long shot. (and the most...1k miles)

324 pictures were worth saving and the up load is done.
I now have to work for 6 nights straight, so it will be awhile before I can do the RR.

Nope, didn't happen.

That didn't happen either. 
I'm a sedate, mellow rider.
