Bud's biker weekend

This Saturday and today, Sunday, Bud participated in a charity bike 'run'. A local charity called Father Fred after a very popular Catholic priest sponsored two bike runs to raise money. Bud had a good time both days. Saturday he rode with a group of friends on what was called a "Poker Run". They rode through the surrounding counties, picking up cards at 5 different stops. In the end they were suppose to have some kind of poker hand. Bud went with about 9 different friends and their wives. It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine. After they finished the bikers parked their bikes on two blocks of Front Street downtown for a final little 'rally'. I met them downtown after the run. It was packed with lots of bikes lining the street. This is just a little section of the group.
I thought I would take a few pictures of 'The Man". He had a good time. How do you like the 'dew rag' (I really don't have any idea if that is how it is spelled but that is how you pronounce it!)


Some friends snapped this picture of the two of us. This was really the first time I had even tried to get on the back of the bike.

Today he took another ride out the Old Mission Peninsula and back with the whole group of bikers. Their 'parade' was about 2 miles long. I could hear them going out the peninsula down Center Road by just the roar of the bikes. I also heard them come back Peninsula Drive down at the bottom of the hill. Afterwards there was breakfast/lunch for the group.
He had a good time.

  1. Uncle Bud looks like a happy man in those pictures.

    Did you sew that dew rag? Sounds like there would be quite a market for them in TC these days :)
