Brothers and Sisters
Glad you enjoyed the Ride and had a safe ride. I am on the Pit Crew/pumper team for the ride and pump gas for bikes at the fuel stops. I must say this year we had no accidents/incidents even with the hurricane force rain. The riders were all courteous and pateint even thou wet to the bone. I always tried to evoke a smile from them even thou I was just as wet. The Foundation and Ted are to be commended for all they do so we never forget! Please visit their/our website Americas 9/11 Foundation and see all that they do.

 

my neighbor and myself were on the overpass of route 155 in havre de grace, maryland with his two young boys. what a great show of support. as a person who was at ground zero, it brought tears to my eyes. i havent been back to lower manhattan since then but plan on doing the ride next year.

 

Appreciate you sharing the pics...Looks like one awesome ride! Definitely one we want to make one year.

Bull,

I have to apologize to you too for not mentioning all the pit crew folks and volunteers who helped with stops and gas and lunches.. You guys all did a fantastic job, especially considering the number of bikes and people involved. My thanks for your contribution..

I won't go through it all again.. but one thing for sure.. I will be back for this ride next year..

Cheers

Mavrick ... I couldn't agree with you more ... as a "newbie" this year's ride was my first real test ... it was an unforgettable experience ... I wrote about the trip and posted a few pics as well ... if you're interested here's the link: http://fpfd480.wordpress.com/ Thanks for the great post and hopefully we'll get to meet on next year's ride!

Hey Maverick,
A buddy and I rode from Orlando FL to take part in that ride. Except for the rain outside of Somerset into Leesburg it was a great ride wasn't it? I'd go again in a heartbeat!
