Member Jeff put this run together for us and served as Ride Captain.
(and did an excellent job of it)

We met up at the ConAgra building in Alton

After some catching up on what everyone's been up to it was time to "fly"

Jeff's Brother-In-Law owns this great biker friendly establishment called...
(what else)... Full Throttle

The prices (moderate) and portion sizes (gi-normous) make this the perfect place for lunch on a long leisurely ride around some of the roads north of the Alton area

They didn't even mind that we hung out waiting for the rain to pass

It didn't do us much good though... we all joined the wet-butt riders before the day was over.

Lining up for the first of two ferry rides...

The ferry ride was great...
