Some video of Troop Ride

[Smylinacha]

Kicked it off with the National Anthem - someone who was a runner up for Idol (forgot his name) but was really nice! This ride started small by an employee whose kid went to Iraq. It has grown from 30 riders to over 800.

Next video was the ride - very pretty - lasted all day long. There was a bbq at the end but our group was pretty beat so we went back to the hotel for a Prime Rib dinner and time in the pool & jacuzzi.

Last stop (for us) was at the V.A. hospital where there was a very moving presentation to all the vets. This is at the end with the bikes starting to leave. We broke off at this point and headed back to the hotel.

Great meeting

all of you guys & gals from Ct. Both Nan and I really enjoyed talking to all of you. Hope everyone made it home safe, and the Spyder is not leaking gas anymore.

Could not have asked for a better put together ride and route. Hope it happens again next year, as we will plan on being there.

If you guys get in our neck of the woods make sure you let us know as we would like to meet up again.

Such a great way to support our troops!!

Thanks to all that took their time and effort to bring it all together!!

Grumpy
Bob & Nan
