Day 1 is in the books….

Today was the first day of the rally here in Ellicottville, and it was a very good day.  Jim and I made it down for a real nice breakfast that is included with our room!  Perfect!  We registered for the Rally, and of course got the Official Rally T Shirt. 

The group of campers came over and joined us, and we all went on the first ride of the Rally today, down to Allegheny National Forest to a dam.  It was about a two hour drive one way. 

OK, lets look at some pics of the day…

This is a pic of our Canadian Crew getting staged for today’s ride…

I think I took too good a picture of the resort we are staying in, as I got Judy wondering why she is working and I am here doing what I am doing…. wooopppssss….

Sounds like Al from the Bayfield Bunch and his wife Kelly have been to Ellicottville to ski, along with our Daughter Kristina and her hubby, Chris.  They all seem to recognize some of the shots from last night.

Looking forward to tomorrow, will keep shooting with the camera!

Till tomorrow….

  1. Chris wants me to tell you about the Ellicotville brewery, downtown. It has wonderful food (massive portions) and delicious local beer - you should go!
