I've been quite lucky throughout my career to almost always make changes at my discretion and this was another one of those. Not an easy choice; that in itself was a good thing. This weekend there will be some riding time, Tuesday I'll be in L.A. for training, sadly missing Richard's reunion. :)Coop a.k.a.

Must have been lonely there being by yourself with all those empty tents.<br /><br />good luck with your new job. Hope you didn't have to start at the bottom with vacation accruals. Sometimes change is good, and sometimes bad if it was forced upon you. I am thinking this would be much closer to home<br /><br />bob: riding the wet coastAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-73109646875365830202014-08-05T17:43:18.293-05:002014-08-05T17:43:18.293-05:00Sonja, that area of Wisconsin is more rolling in t...Sonja, that area of Wisconsin is more rolling in topography than it is right here along the river, but some of the 'roll' changes are quite dramatic. Around here, we may have steeper changes but the areas around the rally site provide many incredible vistas as the roads follow the spines of ridges and when the ridges drop, the really do.<br /><br />Thank you, it was a really good day and I had fun. I'm going to like this!Coop a.k.a.

Rain and thunderstorms were possible, they didn't happen but the thought of riding much of the way home on drenched roads with a racing slick was in the back of my mind.<br /><br />Thank you, it was a very interesting day and definitely out of my norm. I'm going back tomorrow and very much looking forward to it. :)Coop a.k.a.

Somedays it is best not to tempt fate and chance the tire.<br /><br />Congrats on the new job (a wanted move I hope) I am sure you still learn a lot of new tricks.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-65170909904452831332014-08-04T05:11:31.307-05:002014-08-04T05:11:31.307-05:00Karen, you are very right about the size of the ra...Karen, you are very right about the size of the rally. There are many attendees that I don't know but most of the faces have become familiar and I continue to work at it. :)<br /><br />These private campgrounds seem to be scattered around our region, places where families seasonally gather away from home. 3 of the rallies I attend happen in the "transient" areas of these 'grounds with all sorts of activities available. Lake Joy has their private lake, no fishing license required.<br /><br />Next time you head this direction, be sure and ask for suggestions!Coop a.k.a.
