4th Annual Fragile X Poker Run
I leave for the Stations Inn tomorrow to participate in the Fragile X Poker run, and am really looking forward to it. I will spend almost three whole days riding the SSR through the mountaintops of Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
As always, a highlight of the ride is on the Striped Snake with its 489 curves.
Check out this great video which really gives you a feel of the ride.

I finally got around to posting some pix and videos up. Here is the group that rode on that wet Saturday down US route 421 from Shady Valley Tennessee. The roads were slick, and this was filmed on one of the first big switchbacks, and no one was moving too quickly.

A bunch of us were playing around with the Photosynth app for the iPhone. This is Dan’s trick of putting Robb in many of the panorama frames for a hilarious effect.
