CCC Vintage Ride

This year's Vintage ride was held on the bluffs overlooking Black Lake. As fall colors were nearing 50%, the scenery was breathtaking. The weather was perfect and the company of Mark and Todd easy and enjoyable.

G and his Dad rode the kids loop several times throughout the weekend, including a sweep ride Saturday afternoon. G was proud to be a sweep rider and later, honored to draw the names of the grand prize winners. He was the youngest rider in attendance and left with a cool camo sleeping bag.

In one of those small world moments, G overheard his Dad talking with a couple of riders, who not only knew an old childhood friend of Paul's, but a new one as well--the father of G's school friend Jordan. G came running, arms waving madly to tell me "THAT guy know's Jordan's Dad!" A connection for him.

G's friend Chase, from the Kids' ride and the Mio-Hunt Creek ride, was there as well. Though he is nearly twice G's age, he enjoys spending time with him. Another connection that gives G his own place at these annual events.
