I REFUSE TO TIP-TOE THROUGH LIFE ONLY TO ARRIVE SAFELY AT DEATH – JUSTIN WISNIEWSKI
A fellow fallen rider, died in the line of duty as a volunteer firefighter at age 18
SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2009 is the 4th annual ride in his honor. It typically does not attract the thousands of bikes some of the bigger rides in the area do, but it is a great one.
It starts in Southington, CT and goes thru the state. At about the halfway point, as you ride down RT 6 in Terryville, you ride under two ladder trucks with their ladders extended over the road and brandishing Old Glory. (see pics on website) Then the bikes circle at the Firefighter's Training Center, and continue on. Police and firefighters block traffic for the bikers on local roads.
It ends back in Southington with music and food.
I would love to see some of the New England Spyder Ryders there, and wanted to mention this to all to acknowledge a great kid. He was big into volunteering, and the funds raised go to a scholarship for families of firefighters. Remember, when others are running out of the building, they are the ones running in……….
