Six Bears and a Goat !
It was a good day for a ride and we made the most of it. Leeds Manor road is always a nice ride. Six Bears and a Goat Brewery was packed because of 30 young Marines from Quantico. So young and so much ahead of them. The energy and excitement was fantastic. After lunch we went to stop 12 on the Gran...
