Keep Playin' That R & R

Loretta and I participated in the annual Sierra Hope Ride for MD Saturday. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 3000 riders took to the road. The idea is to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. This year, the event raised more than last...the figures aren't in yet but it looks like over $500,000 so far.

Besided the excitement of teaming up with 3000 other (mostly) Harley riders on a 58 mile trek from Modesto to Sonora and a great BBQ meal...we were treated to a concert by long-time classic rocker Edgar Winter. He and his kick-ass band were right on with their hits Free Ride, Frankenstein, and Keep Playin' That Rock & Roll (all hits from the 70's). What a blast! They sounded great and a good time was had by all.

So, when Labor Day rolls around and the checks are being handed to Jerry for the kids, you'll know where a large portion of the Harley-Davidson funds come from. They come this event and many others like them throughout the year.
