Ride for the Red 2009

The chapter's 3rd annual Ride for the Red was held today. We had absolutely amazing weather, and an amazing group that helped run the event. Thanks to all of the volunteers, businesses, and riders who turned out!

After grabbing breakfast, the first bikes soared out of the parking lot of the Leesburg Moose Lodge around 9:00 a.m. The volunteers in charge of cooking up lunch started to work, and by the time the bikers came back, subs,and barbecue were available. Riders had the opportunity to get poker hands stamped at the various rest stops, with judging done after the Ride. With one ace high hand, the first person up snagged a Garmin GPS unit designed for cycles.

The day ended with raffles and a 50/50 drawing. And the announcement for the Ride for the Red 2010: the first Saturday in October. Make plans to join us... And scroll down for some pictures of the event.
