Thanks for the documentation, Mike. It was great to meet and ride with more CR list members. I hope we'll gather for another regional ride some time soon. What a day! The Rob Stowe is owned by fellow Brooklyn resident Christian Kubek. Expect to see more of him at future BVVW meetings. We have to keep the flame lit...our Omnipotent Despot is counting on us!
