A group of us were waiting at the Esso for the Noble's. Ryan was the first to get there and came in to have some thing to drink about 15 min's later, the rest of the boys came by and just keeped on going, we all jumped up leaving our drinks; payed the bill and ran outside to our bikes. Ryan had just left a $5. on the table and ran out the door. we were told that the boys would be doing only 110 so that we all could catch up to them. Ryan and some other's had jumped on there bikes were gone, the rest of us got under way but had to push our bikes hard to catch up to them. Half way between Didsbury and Olds we finally caught up to them. there 110, turned out to be 140.  Now we were one big group, Or a long line of bikes. at one point we all pulled over to the side of the road and stoped as some guy on his bike was rideing in the feild, dont know why, I think he was chasing after a goffer. the guy rejoinded the group and we got back under way. as we were comming up to the 32ave turnoff from the Qe2 I could see how long this group was. Looked like about 100 bikes,, Not bad..we got into Noblefest sooner then we should have, I dont think that they were ready for us yet, but thats what you get when you ride with the Noble's, your ahead of time, or late...the guys have come so far, and done so well, and still have a ways to go yet. and with some new boots, a new jacket, and the bikes fixed up, they should be at the end of there trip in no time. And then,,,,,They have to ride all the way back to Red Deer,,and that will feel like the longest part of the trip...
