The past few days have been INSANE preparing for the charity motorcycle ride. There were door prizes to pick up, tickets to be organized, etc. The other day I put in 2 hours taking calls and calling people back on our answering service. It was a little hectic seeing as I had never done it before.
Today was the ride! I got up early and headed over to Applejack's, a bar-diner where the route was going to start. I helped register riders&passengers, handed out wristbands, and passed out raffle tickets. Bikers kept pouring in! The event was really exciting. People initially take bikers to be harsh people, but we saw a very generous and philanthropic side to them. Each person was more than willing to buy raffle tickets and donate money to the cause. I met some really interesting people (and yes, I wore black clothes with studs on them!). I'll keep you posted on how much we raised for St. Vincent de Paul and other local food pantries :)
Here is a picture of Cozzy and I, one of the organizers of the event. The other ones are from the parking lot.
