I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I left reluctantly, but it was a good thing I left when I did, because my wife *was* worried I was dead on the highway.   Although I am one of the older members of the group, I am one of the least experienced riders. Saturday's event involved many firsts for me. For example, I have gotten wet driving on the parkway, but I don't remember driving in rain at highway speeds. I have only driven my CX to work and to visit relatives in the metro area - Saturday was my first experience "out of town"!   I posted a copy of the group photo, "tweaked" a bit for clarity and sharpness, on my Facebook site. Could you transfer it to the HTTA Facebook site? I cannot post photos there. We can let people tag themselves, and the photo can serve to associate names with faces. I started by tagging you and me on my page (hope that is OK with you.) Tom    Report

I can't seem to move it to the group from someone else's album, but I've adjusted the group settings so you should be able to do it.  I'll flag those I can identify.

Just took about 10 photos, and then I used an App on my iPhone which stitches them together to create the panorama that you see.
