Glad to hear lots of you are going up on Thursday. Either way, it should be a good time and I am looking forward to meeting you guys again - met a bunch of you at Charlie's house last summer, but I am starting to lose track. Anyway should be a good time all around.

I'm staying with my parents thursday night, so if anyone wants to come meet me for breakfast friday morning... Benny Black & Silver '02 Too many mods to list Not enough miles ridden
