Who’s that handsome little fellow representing the Coasters in the upper right of the photo? Probably takes after his Grandpa.
Yesterday At Tulip Time
Paraphrased from Cameron…
Not a big turnout of Coasters but enough to make our presence known. The rain held off, but the wind had us picking up bikes all day. The bikes suffered a few scratches and scrapes. 17 bikes and 9 riders in the parade.
Thanks Cameron and everyone who participated. Photos courtesy of Cameron.

The Canal Cruisers at our turnaround point
Donuts, socializing and riding with like-minded bike nuts, the wind didn’t turn out to be all that bad, spotted a few deer, no flats, no breakdowns, lots of colorful cruise-wear. What a nice ride! Thanks to everyone who came out. We had people come from Kingman and Newton to ride. Jeremy had 3 generations of his family riding. 32 bikes, 33 riders, 34 if you count Barkley the beagle. We rode about 10 miles.
There are even more photos here.
If you have Google Earth, here’s a flyover of our ride. For some reason it didn’t track well and shows me off the path quite a bit.
