[Roadsters] Watkins Glen

[tputland at charter.net]

Double IPA made by a local brewery. That alone would have been enough for me. Add some beautiful Roadsters and what looked to be great weather and you have a perfect day. 

You all on the coasts have it great. No club in this area any more and I don't have time to try to get one going again. Hopefully soon something will get going!

Great shots Vince!
