The Ride (of a lifetime)

A trip around the country in 2005 to take in the sights and visit BGBB members.

Trip stats: 8,528 miles in 29 days. Left June 20th, returned July 19th. Used just over 200 gallons of gas. Averaged 42.5 mpg. Traveled through 24 states.

For those that don't know, 'WeeTread' (the voodoo doll you'll see in some of these photos) came to be as the result of Brothers Retread and RoadHog clowning around and is now considered the mascot for the Brotherhood of Greybeard Bikers.

Thanks for a glipse into your world. Carla
