Day 2 ... gettin' tired





You might call this the Saturday fun and games posting. We'll get the evening wet T-shirt contest out of the way first. 

We didn't catch all the events of the biker rodeo Saturday, but here are three of them; "Kathy" happens to be in all three ... that's just the way the photos turned out. Sandy says she can do an album on rally clothing styles! The first is a slow-motion ride, with the passenger plucking a tennis ball off one pylon and placing it on the next as the driver weaves through the pylons. The keg roll is a one-person event, with the biker pushing a small keg down a lane with the front wheel of the motorcycle ... they're in pairs and the first to successfully get the keg across the finish line wins that heat. The last one is the weenie bite, though contestants had a choice of hot dog or chicken wing, mustard or catsup. Ugh!

Riding around the area is certainly one of the attractions of coming to the Sugar Pine Ranch Rally, and Saturday afternoon there was a constant stream of riders going in and out. Sandy and I were constantly amazed at the cloud formations visible beyond the site. Despite their threatening appearance, the daytime weather has been great so far, with brief showers between 5 and 6 a.m. Saturday and Sunday mornings. tv
