We've REALLY got the fever now...

Got an update from Bill Sloan - 235 riders and passengers have now registered for the August 2009 American Legion Legacy Run. Of these, 160 (including us!) have already indicated that they will travel the entire 1,200-mile route in August.

In other news, ALR Post 180 as well as other area ALR Posts rode to Bunker Hill KS to greet the Run For The Wall riders. This is the 21st year for the event, which aims to promote healing among ALL veterans and their families and friends, to call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action (POW/MIA), to honor the memory of those Killed in Action (KIA) from all wars, and to support our military personnel all over the world.

Brenda and I really have the fever to get going on a long ride with a couple hundred of our closest friends now. Here's a link to some photos: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2020523&id=1529325895&l=c503e6a6cd

Had a lovely weekend of riding...

Since Brenda was off visiting her niece in Corpus Christi TX, I did a little riding. Went to Wichita Friday night to see Kansas perform at the River Fest, then back that night. Home by 2am Saturday, then up and out at 8am to ride to Oakley KS to help with a Welcome Home for a Sailor returning from 18 months at sea on the USS Ronald Reagan, then to Garden City on Sunday for an ALR Director's meeting.

















Oh, and along the way I broke the 50,000 mile mark on the Wing:


I'm going to do another Iron Butt ride, just as soon as I can find an open weekend. This time it'll be the "Bun-Burner" - 1,500 miles in 36 hours.

Before you know it, it'll be time for the Legacy Run again!

What economic slowdown?

I got an update from Bill Sloan - 189 registrations are in so far, and the official ALLR hotels in a couple of the stops are already full! (Glad I got our KS group's reservations in already!). The ALLR staff is publishing routes to Indy from elsewhere, so as soon as I hear from the other KS riders we'll add ours to the list.
