Quick report to close the loop, somewhere approx 490 bikes all in staggered two column formation stretched for miles with police escort keeping everyone moving (You can get very used to blowing through stop lights and signs with Mr LEO waving you on.) First stop Battlefield HD near Gettysburg, then two small towns on the way back to Leesburg. The second to last stop was in Emmitsburg which was notable because they closed the main street and the riders parked on either side of the street with bikes stretching for blocks (while the locals looked on) then walked to the firehouse. (Attached cell phone shots were taken just before we departed.)
Some accordion action ensured that at points we were doing upwards of 80 (I talked to a couple of the motor officers afterwards who admitted running at 100+ and even hitting 120mph trying to ride back to the front of the group! Some of you know the feeling.)
Big breakfast (especially if you like doughnuts) and Red, Hot and Blue provided lunch afterwards. Event was well organized and with the great weather it made for a great ride!
