Courageous Cogs

Saturday, October 3. 2009

I had just found out about this an hour or so before it started so I'm sorry I wasn't able to let everyone know sooner. Thanks to Ty for the heads up on it.

This was a short cruise to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society that went from Rock Island Live to the Shamrock Lounge and back. Once back at Rock Island Live there was food, live music and they raffled off a few prizes including a new Electra cruiser courtesy of the Bicycle Exchange. Several Coasters did attend.

Josh won the Electra raffle bike and ironically his Sister had just won a New Belgium cruiser the night before in a different raffle. At left are the siblings and their new bikes.

I had a good time and was glad I could make it out.

What a great way to spend a fall Saturday afternoon. Riding for a great cause and spending it with friends. Only thing that could have made it better was to win the bike. Cheers!

Let's not forget the gentleman who earned a round of applause as he sped by the Shamrock on his bike toting a 6 pack in each hand.

I believe the plan this year w as to have fewer bikes on disp lay so they could be better di splayed. Also bikes that haven 't been in the show before whi ch would narrow it down quite a bit.
