The 8th Red Cross Ride for the Red Run was held on Sunday March 27th.  What a turnout there was.  The ride began @ the Red Cross Facility on Broad and ended @ Johnny Ringo’s Bar & Grill in T0mbstone.  The weather was great and fun was had by all.  We even had our own private “Shootout at the OK Corral performed right at Johnny Ringo’s by the Staff from Tombstone.

The parking lot was packed by the beginning of registration @ 9:00 am.

Shortly thereafter more and more bikes began filling the lot.  Soon there were bikes parking in adjacent lots just to register for the ride.

There are way too many photos to show here on our page.  Please go to the “Photos Page” to see more photos.

After our monthly breakfast ride several of us made our way over to the Bikers Against Child Abuse Ride (B.A.C.A.)  Those that made the ride were Mike Stoddard, Dave Lehman, Stan Thibaut, Steve & Bonnie Mathews, Mike Martin and myself.  The ride started @ Merles Auto Parts on Dodge Blvd and ended at the Marine Corp League on 29th St.  The ride took us all over the Tucson area even out toward Saguaro National Park.

They offered a great Bar-B-Que dinner after the ride.  They had lots of silent auction items as well as raffles, and of course the 50/50 and high hand and low hand.  Unfortunately yours truly must be losing his touch since I did not win a thing.  High hand was four of a kind.  Best I could come up with was an Ace high straight.  Since my Gold Wing was in the shop I had to ride on four wheels but that did not stop me from getting my wheels washed by the bikini girls.

While they did not ride in the poker run both Patti Thibaut and Silva Stoddard showed up after the ride.

Walter Reed Hospital sent out a group of Veteran amputees from the Iraq/Afghanistan War for some R & R to Tucson.  Part of the program was them playing baseball on Friday night at U of A stadium.

The Patriot Guard was invited and this is one mission we could make a difference at!  These men and women had no idea we would be there!  They played after the woman’s game and it started shortly after 6:00 PM.

Several of our Members were able to also attend.  Steve Kelley, Steve Mathews, Stan and Patti Thibaut were all in attendance.  They said it was one of the most inspiring moments they have ever experienced.  You would not have believed the enthusiasm these Veterans showed and how they were able to make hit after hit and run bases.  Many with prosthetic arms and legs.
