Hello Mulberry crew! I'm Chris Ring, and my wife is Lisa. I'm finally posting under my new profile name of RingMaster. As requested, here is a picture of my wonder wife and I.

Last weekend was an amazing ride. I have managed to place a few of you with your profile names but there are many of you that I want to get to know much better on many more rides like this one. Lisa and I have been loving our new P1000 that we purchased it in March and we have been on may rides by ourselves. None of that compares to the fun we had with you guys and gals! Months ago I saw this thread and wanted to attend the ride, but we had other plans and couldn't make it so I never posted anything here. But while at a restaurant Friday night our previous plans fell through so I quickly looked on the forum to see details. I wanted to go home and start loading up for the ride. For some reason I found a post on my little phone that made me think the dates were June 15. I was sad because I could have sworn that it was in July. We decided to go to the Piano Bar as usual. Finally after getting back home at 2:30 Saturday morning, I checked online again and found that it WAS JULY! So at 3:00am, I set my alarm for 6:00am. We drug ourselves out of bed and left Little Rock, AR at 7:40. I managed to load a spare pup tent and a bare minimum amount of camping supplies because we were not really planning to spend the night, but I had to be prepared.
We managed to get to the campground Saturday morning at the same time that the last 3-4 of the Hondas were leaving the campground. We quickly unloaded even though we figured we would never run into the group on the trails. I was so happy to "bump" into you guys on the trail! We lucked out. And the fun ensued from there. And, I'm so glad I was prepared with the pup tent. If it weren't for that, we would have missed the night ride and the Sunday ride. Both were awesome!
I'm sure looking forward to some more rides with all of you and many more!
