Default Rolling Thunder 2013

Is there any group ride from FL?
I've already booked the hotel, and I will leave on 05/24, but I just wonder.
I know that there is a large group (400-500) riding to DC from California, so I have to ask.

I have been thinking about making the trip this year. I am in the Stuart area. Where are you riding from?

I have attempted for many years to ride to this memorable event, and finally, this may become true soon!
I've heard that an average of 3-400000 people attend this event, to remember those who died for our freedom.

But surprisingly!

Not starting out in FL but might be possible to jump in when you pass through NC depending on when that is.

That's great!
If everything is smooth, I will pass by NC on 05/25.
Keep in touch!

Most connect the DC event to Rolling Thunder. Their stated mission: "The major function of Rolling ThunderŽ, Inc. is to publicize the POW-MIA issue..."

Unfortunately, a large number in attendance have no clue and simply see the event as one big-*** party.

Go there with LOTS of patience.
