first timer here - i think everything was very well put together. I like the idea of putting itinerary on the nametag, I brought it with me, but never looked at it once.

My only regret is that I spent too much time hanging out, and not enough time driving....... and when we were driving, i was always stuck behind other slow UMW people - particularly sg_s2k

One thing i really did enjoy was short night run another UMW guy and I took (minus the fact a coyote almost ran into my car) - I dont know if anyone schedules night runs, but that was intense and i will make sure i do it during upcoming events

When presented with the option to lead the group, KnowledgeIsPower preferred to stay in the back of the pack for fear of getting lost. Also just curious as to why KnowledgeIsPower opted to get a ride with me for our late night run to Robbinsville in the rain???

Maybe the boost is getting to your head...
haha seeing as how when i lead the group i had to literally pull off the road and wait before i could even see you guys again, i feel my fear of getting lost is somewhat warrented

Although i do love my boost, i sometimes miss a stock s2k. I have also never ridden an ap2! plus white is my fav color

it was my first time on the dragon and I'll never forget it. I cant wait til DBRX and this time I won't be driving from texas.

The good: I've met some really awesome people and ran into some old familiar faces. The dragon was more than what I expected, I wasn't expecting so many turns in a short distance... and the room that I was staying at was awesome.

The bad: the rain and no cell phone service.



next time, I'm bringing a Ipad so I can go on the internet in the lobby and a sat phone
