Some candids...

Tom & Bob. Brothers. Bob has ridden with us several times, this would be his 3rd tour. And he enlisted his brother, who is an ER Physician in North Carolina to fly out, rent a bike and enjoy the Pashnit Tour together.

I asked them when was the last time the two of them had done something like this together- just the two of them.

They didn't have an answer for that one. Long time! :harhar

Off to the Ahwahnee Hotel for lunch... Built in 1927, great place for photography!

The Monte Cristo - basically a glorified ham & cheese, but they batter it, than deep fry it. :funny :clap And that cup thingy? Peach dipping sauce. :nod Delicious!

Postscript:

Special thanks to all the riders on this Grand Tour of Pashnit California! It truly was the pursuit of The Greatest Day. The thought hit me at the end of the 2nd day as we rolled to the end of Balch Park Rd-Yokohl Dr. This was The Greatest Day! Nonstop curves, mind-boggling vistas, good people, good times!

Tim & I have to extend our thanks for your excitement and enthusiasm for these guided tours. 50% of the riders on this tour were returning from previous rides. That by far is the greatest testiment to these rides together, and motivates that desire to provide that Greatest Day! Thanks! And hugs and kisses too. :gotcha :funny
