Sorry it too so long but only so many hours in the day.
I rode with my new man in the escort for the Moving Wall--this being his first ride for this event and my 15th, I believe. The weather was picture perfect and the turn-out great. I am curious as to the approximate count of bikes that appreciated. I did the meet and greet with many of my friends--always like ole home-town get together all for one purpose---To show support and awareness of a war that took the lives of so many of our young men and had such dire effects on so many others in our society--in our United States of America and Vietnam and beyond. God Bless Them One and All.
ReplyDeleteI heard an estimate of over 1,000 and judging by the raw footage I shot, that sounds about right. The video should be up later today. We go every year but usually my husband is on the ride and I film it. This year his bike had to go into the shop so he sat with me and was stunned by how different it is seeing all the bikes coming in. Glad you made it and you're right, it was perfect weather.
