Fallen Peace Officers Memorial Run, June 9, 2013

Sadly Jo had a migrain headach so I took the scoot out of the barn and headed to downtown Colorado Springs to ride the 8th. Annual Fallen Peace Officers Memorial Run. It used to be named after just, "one" officer but theirs been more that have fallen so the ride name was changed. It was a fantasic day, sunny, HOT and LOTs of scoots showing up!  The run was 103 miles of mostly back roads with stops at different types of stores/bar-cafe's, etc. 

One great thing was I got to ride again with some old friends, it's been 7 years since I rode with Ed and Dianne Wing and it was just like old times! :) It was just us two scoots but at one time, poor Ed was leading about 45 bikes and LOL, he really hates to be a ride leader! ;)  Well we stopped at a Ice cream/cafe in Palmer Lake as the 3rd. stop in the same town was at a bar/resturant and was PACKED with hungry bikers so we traveled a bit farther and had great seating in AC, YEA, did I mention it was HOT! 

Headed back to the start point that was also the last stop, they have a really good live band playing and we bought some raffle prized tickets alas no winners today but it was for a good cause, to help the familes of fallen Officers and any of their childern going thru cancer treatment. Had a great time!

The scoots lining up on Tejon St. down town Colorado Springs, CO. for the start of the run!
