2005 TBRA Banquet Ride

On Saturday the annual TBRA banquet ride was held in Nashville, and this year's guest speaker/rider was Tom Danielson of Discovery Channel.  We estimated about 120 riders showed up at the Model Airplane Fields for the 2 hour ride out towards Leipers Fork and back.  It was a beautiful day with weather that could not have been any better.  Hopefully you did not miss this chance to end the 2005 season on a high note with such a large group of cycling enthusiasts and one top professional.
