The wife and I went on a ride sponsored by the Eagles Club and organized by a work buddy of mine, Missy. It was a cool, all most cold that day when we started out, then it warmed up when at the tail end of the ride, which was too bad. But we had a good day anyway--cold/cool or not.
We went around to some pretty countryside, cruised through some cool little towns in Iowa, and meet a lot of nice people. The ride was also a poker ride, so although our hand was close to the worst in the group--it was a lot of fun. The best poker hand paid money at the end of the ride-- the best hand got $300 dollars not to bad just for going out and having some fun--my luck not sooo good this time--maybe next time.
Overall, it was just a good time to be with other bikers, and we made some new friends. Some of the guys in the pictures are guys that I work with--it was a rare and fun get-together of the bike riders in our work group--so it was a good time.
Funny highlight of the day--that still makes me laugh to think about it--we were all gathered to get our instructions for the next leg--and do the raffle drawing for the stop--when we noticed a couple pretty tough dudes getting cozy--then we saw what you see in the photo below--the little guy grabbed the big guy's butt! Yup--it was hilarious. So...it was hilarious to see two guys in the play grab as-- I don't know them--but they seem to like each other, LOL. It was sooo fun! In addition--and last but not least--they exceeded their fundraising goal that day. AND we won several raffle prizes. So..if you get a chance to do a B.A.D ride--I'd recommend it--it's for a good cause--and a lot of fun. How can you lose? Everyone wins.
