The start of the ride. 36 Bikes & 1 Stryker.
(This is a 42MB movie.)






The weather for the ride was fine. However, the start was the worst I've seen. The escort vehicles took off even before many people were mounted on their bikes. You can see the results in the movie. Possibly the result of poor coordination. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Coordination is key to a safe ride. You have to be able to communicate problems to the lead escort or they're flying blind. You can't expect the escort driver to stay on top of the situation through their rear view mirror.

Erie Canal H.O.G. had 2 entrys in the ride - Lenny Bragg & myself, and I stayed behind selling raffle tickets.
