SCHOGs at the RanchBranch

sat. morning 11:30ish am at the new shop, when can i stop calling it the new shop?, and about 28 members are ready to roll. we are getting our last minute directions and pack riding rules, from road capt'n Mark. we are leaving late because we are waiting for big Dave C. to get his ultra out of the service department. I've always had good to adequate service there but big dave didn't get that today. the shop had already installed parts and did it half assed and now when they had to do it right, they wanted to charge him again. "bullshit" his bad ass biking wife Barb said. She's a pip. she doesn't mind speaking up with her assessment of the situation.

and so finally we have to leave without dave, because service now tells him "it'll be another 30-40 minutes". Steve, who is the leader and designer of this ride, gives big dave the print out of the road by road agenda for the day and tips on how to catch up to us.
I'm lined up behind Ron and Venus...to be continued.
