Reservations made for Wed-Thurs at Country Mountain Inn.  Room 109. Going to leave Friday during the day and ride half way home so I can be home Saturday at a decent hour.  Family still threatening to disown me if I am not home Saturday so the family can all get together on Fathers day.  Looks like my first MOOTMag will only be half a MOOTMag but that's OK, I'm getting 6 days of much needed riding.

Hope you guys have a wonderful, memorable Mootmag.  Be safe and smart.  I am leaving for Wash., D.C. on Sunday to take in the sights and volunteer at the U.S. Open being played at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland June 16-19.  A different kind of fun.
