2021 Maryland Airheads Last Days of Summer Rally Recap

Sat Sep 25 18:37:10 EDT 2021

Thanks to Will and the MD Airheads for a fantastic rally. The location was great and the local riding was fantastic. There’s a few roads I didn’t get to ride this year so will have to return.

I added a few pix to the album.

My original plan was to make it out there the same evening, but I could not manage it between work and final packing.  I was able to get out there Thursday morning with my trusty 1980 R80/7 on the trailer in tow behind my trusty 1993 Volvo 960 wagon.  The wagon was a pandemic purchase instigated by our own Mike Adams who connected me with it's now former owner in June of 2020.  The wagon is well suited for rally management with a full 6 feet of internal cargo space and with its 2.9 liter I6 200hp naturally aspirated engine (a massive increase in power over the 2.4 liter I4 red block used in most of Volvos preceding 240 models).

That evening everyone was on their own with some folks heading to Bill's in Little Orleans and others cooking in camp. Thursday was a late night with much merriment.

When I got to the cemetery I ditched the Aerostich, donned a suit jacket and was ready for the service.  Mae brought her riding gear along to the service, changed into afterwards and hopped on the bike for the return run. I put in about 220 miles by the time we made it back to the rally! Most riders had arrived by the time we returned with three of them on /2s!  Our beloved Eric Heilveil rode several hours in on his beautiful /2 (he is hobbling around quite nicely after his recent get-off, and it was great to see him), Craig Barnhart traveled in on his R50, and a third rider journeyed from Yorktown, VA on another vintage R60/2.  By the end of the evening we had about 35 rally goers in camp.  Dinner was well received- pulled chicken and pork, vegetarian black beans and rice served with flour tortillas...  Another late night ensued following dinner, but it did not include me...
