Day 1 Pictures

	Rick Spaulding is a photographer specializing in digital photography for the theater and works for National Camera Exchange. He is also an antique dealer and eBay afficianado who enjoys collecting marbles but his true joys in life are his two boys and his beautiful wife, Tinia.

This year, all of Rick's photos, organized by the day of the ride, are on their own pages. Michael's text is on separate pages for each day.
