Thanks for the write-ups on the Gold Country ride guys.
Can you contact me separately, please, I want to ask
something but read RC on the archives where the email
addresses are blocked out, so I can't respond to you
directly.

I am astonished you were able to take it all in,
considering you'd just ridden the 50 and had that
"I'm not all there, but am faking it pretty good"
look about you. I figured you were just listening
politely and not filing the directions away at all. :))

ah yes, that was one of the parts I warned you about,
along the lines of "You're OK with brakes?" (if anyone
ever doubted that having a truck that can *stop* your
rig is more important than being able to *pull* it,
they should try Marshall Grade on for size.).

Glad you made it home safely.
