Saturday, Oct 15th, It was a great day for a convoy. 18 vehicles showed up. Only one had mechanical problem with brake hanging up. Interesting since all components were new per owner.

The convoy took narrow paved country roads. There were a lot of canopy drive areas where the trees hung over the road making like a tunnel. The terain was hilly with thick forest and open grassy fields. Was really beautiful. I think it was overall about 65 miles round trip. We ate lunch at a marina restaurant on a beautiful lake.

It was a great weekend up here for cruising as well. I worked the M37 a little this weekend.

The hanging brake in an all new system is not uncommon. It will usually be traced to a incorrectly adjusted shoe or the length of the master cylinder brake push rod being too long.
