A pic of Janice taken with a little trick I learned from Russ..Be sure to have a FIRM grip on your camera, turn it around,hold it up over your shoulder or head, aim it where you hope someone is at & click the shutter..I wasted a lot of battery till I got it down...Thanks Russ for showing me...


We turned Northbound on Hwy 281/277 off of Hwy 70..Here are the lead bikes...
