Griffin Tavern, in Flint Hill, Virginia, provides us with a great ride along some very pretty country roads. We meet at the Safeway grocery store in Middleburg, Virginia. Starting in Loudoun County, we cross Fauquier County, then ride to our destination in Rappahannock County. “Rappahannock” comes from the Algonquian word meaning “river of quick, rising water”.

The riders were George Ogden, Tom Hardy, Uwe Rumohr, Tony Greenfield , Juan Sakata, and Dave Hennessey. Craig Williams and Joe Earman magically appeared, sans motorcycles.
