2010 Ride To Remember

My wife and I rode in the 9th annual Ride To Remember today, sponsored free by Cycle World of Athens, GA. It was a very moving event - well over 500 bikes participated on a police-escorted group ride from Athens, GA to the Hiawassee Trout Farm grounds in Hiawassee, GA, This ride is held each year to honor all those who perished on 9/11 and after, and also our brave military personnel and public safety professionals who keep us safe from the bad guys. THANK YOU!

This 9/11 remembrance bike led the ride. I believe it's owned by a local firefighter. Anyway, it's an awesome bike, and I wanted to post some pictures of it here for all.

Ride Safe.

I get an email every year about that ride, but I've never gone. I really need to make a point to do it next year.

Ken,

Great pics, well done.

I was working for British Airways at London Heathrow airport that fateful day. Someone turned on the office tv and we all watched CNN live as the second plane flew in. Planes flew past our windows, in and out of Heathrow. A colleague lost her sister in one of the towers and a lot of us lost our jobs during the following downturn over here. Had far reaching affects!
