IBTS14 9/20 Rest Day in Rochester

Well it’s not officially a rest day; it’s a day designed to ride “the gaps”.  “Gaps” are gaps in the mountains; what we call passes in the West.  But I don’t think too many are riding today.  A good number of us are taking the van to Stow for a British Car Show called The British Invasion..  Supposedly there will be 600 cars; we had many pass us on the road yesterday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a 1960 baby blue Austin Healy Sprite – exactly like the one I had my senior year in college.  The red and black Austin Healy 3000 is like the one John Hunsucker, Bill Woods and I drove from Beaumont, Texas to Ft Lauderdale, FL to see Lamar Tech get beat (by Middle Tennessee State) in the Tangerine Bowl (1992?). The car broke down many times on the trip and we had to be towed back to Beaumont so we could resume classes.
