We waited for Ralphie in Payson and he came in only 10-15 minutes late. I gave stattic about not letting us know but when he told me he didn't make up his mind until 2, this morning, I told him that it was just fine that he didn't call then.
The ride was outstanding. Got nipply at 7500' elevation but there was very little melt off on the pavement and no ice was encountered. The road surface north of Payson was pretty iffy in many places, probably from snow plows. The rough road kept speeds down and I think 100 was touched only a few times. Considering the unobstructed view and straightness south of Winslow, that's quite restrained. Or maybe it was Mark in the lead, with Lisa's sharp elbow beside him?
