So it started off dry…
Then got really wet…
It got too bad and with the threat of thunder storms, we bailed before leaving the city. We did get our pledges in and got the parade around the city done.
There was a decent showing even though the weather was threatening all morning. Hopefully there was still a large amount of pledges collected. Hate to see a cause like this suffer due to Mother Nature.
Looks like we may get sprinkled on during the Ride for Dad. Iffy weather like this usually makes for a low turnout which is really disappointing. I’ll be there regardless…with my rain suit…that I probably won’t even wear.
June 5th is the 3rd year for the Ride for Dad in my area. My own father lost his prostate due to the monster known as cancer, so my whole family has a vested interest in this ride. I made it to the first, missed the second due to my own surgery (hernia), but intend to make the third.
It’s a tri-city ride, meaning that the three major cities here have three separate rides that meet in one central location. It’s the last year for that type of set up and it’ll be a shame to see it change.
It’s always good fun and of course this year it falls on a day that I have to work, forcing me to burn yet another vacation day to go on a motorcycle ride…twist my rubber arm…please.
