Face of America Ride 2011

Postby streetdoc » Mon Apr 18, 2011 5:57 pm

April 16th and 17th was the Face of America Ride for 2011, we had 22 motorcyclist from all over including several members of BMWBMW to assist with this event. There were 80 Wounded Warriors and a total of 420 bicycle riders that rode from DC to Gettysburg. The first day was shortened by about 20 miles due to the tremendous storm that rolled through and the second days course had to be changed because of flooded roads. It is an amazing experience to witness these veterans still being athletic and positive about their lives.

What did you think of that bridge? Because of the reroute nobody saw all the water over the road that caused us to change the course. I only took a couple of pictures because I was trying to figure out a way around the water and wanted to get back to the group.

Love the shot of Zoom directing traffic in his elmer hat. I agree it was an honor to ride with these vets and warriors, and the crew was top notch.
