May 12, 2019 - in Ontario

Short post for the day.  Today was pretty much a down day.  Lots of people have been arriving all day.  We spent most of the day catching up with RFTW family.  It was great to see every one.

Larry, Martha and Harry: Harry was the RFTW president a few years ago for 10 years.  He and his wife, Martha, are always around and ready to jump in and help if needed.

 Dan, aka Boilermaker, with Jean and Larry.  He is our quartermaster this year.  He makes sure all the team have arm bands, hats, banners for bikes and he is the go-to peron for just about anything that needs to be gotten.

   Few of the guys catching up with a few more stories.

 Jeanie and Gill road on our FNG year in 2015,  FNG: is a first time rider to the Run = Fine New Guy or Fine New Gal  :-)

 Craig, Ron  and Lee.  They are from Kentucky and Lee is the state coordinator for KY.

 Kirk, (Head road guard), Larry, Ron, Dwayne (one of the chaplins), Harlan and Mama O (mentors for this year and route coordinator from last year)

Larry, Stephen (Outreach team) and Brian, aka Diesel (road guard)

 You see me mentioning their names and the position the will have on the Run.  In a few days I will give you a list of all those working to get the RFTW participants across the country.

Larry takes a few minutes to get his boots shined.  This is free for a donation only.  Get this, ALL the money they get, goes back to the Run.  Amazing....

 We start to see the bikes lined up.  In a day or 2 your will see hundreds as we prepare for our departure on Wednesday.

 We did take a short trip up Mt. Baldy.  This is a mountain about 10 miles from the hotel.  It had several real tight turns.  Some pretty pics....

 Tonight, Tigger and I enjoyed a little dessert.  Cheese cake and strawberries.

 Yummmmm!!

 Look we cleaned out plates.

Tomorrow we start the meeting for all the teams. This is a totally volunteer organization.  I will explain a little more on what it takes to get 400+ motorcycles moving smoothly. The thousands of hours of man power give to make this possible is incredible to be around.

WE RIDE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T
AND WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE ARE ALL BOUGHT HOME.
