Paul & Jen - Excellent! Had a great time! You really did a great job on the route and good pick on the restaurant.

Lew, Deb, and Mark - thanks for the company at lunch.

As always, good seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Marty

More Pictures !!!

I have posted 46 of my photos from B&B 3. Click here to see the gallery.

Too bad that the light was a bit subdued by the overcast -- it was hard to get much "punch" into the pictures. BTW -- If anyone needs higher resolution copies, let me know by Email; the pictures have all been down-sampled to 800 pixel width although the originals were taken with an 8 Mpix camera.

Here are a few selected samples:

I got home yesterday, laid down for a nap, and just woke up!

Thanks to Aaron and Jen for a fun route, and to everyone else for coming along! It was an absolute blast!

Edit: And a special thanks to the photographers, Since I perpetually seem to forget my own camera! Awesome pictures!

-Paul!

someone needs to invest in a VacuCam or something. I was thinking about it, but I have other priorities that come first (like moving).

So, did anyone not just go home and sleep afterward?
I know I did, but then again I still am recovering/getting through whatever this cold type thing is.

B@B III great run!

I'll add my thanks to Jen and Paul for planning a great run. We had a blast (as usual) even though we had to bail after Harper's Ferry. Paul, excellent CD.

Kurt; my son enjoyed riding w/ you. now he's spoiled and not satisfied riding in a MINI w/o a CAI .

See everyone at Towson.

Thanks to everyone who came out. We had 32 cars this year. Just about perfect. (Last year it was 47) I am especially proud that when we missed a turn - WE ALL MISSED THE TURN - and therefore although we were all off the route for just a moment - NO ONE WAS LOST! The curse of B&BII is broken.


Great photos everyone.

Paul - thanks for the goodie bags, the music CD and all your time putting this one together.

You and me are on the same boat! The photos were great! I'm jealous everyone had a good time! I'll be at the next one though. You can bet your behind, I will.
