Sounds good Tom, we are going to check in on Friday so will be ready
to go when you get there, or at breakfast. I'll leave word at the
desk if we leave for breakfast.

I checked with Regis and he said the shop would be open so we can
ride south on Saturday and visit, then ride north on Sunday if that's
alright with you. If I can get a hitch on my wifes car we will be in
it instead of my truck, and you won't be able to miss is, it will
have a double decker trike rack on the back.
