Even in the rain it sounds like it was fun.  So how did you get this all started, in case some of us want to do something similar?  Maybe a walk or a car drive.

Glad you still had a turnout even with the rain.  It was for a good cause and those that still participated even with the rain should be congratulated.

I got back home around 3pm today.

The ride was very well organized and more than 25 people arrived to help support the cause. I have put a lot of rides together and for the first one the support was outstanding.

We had a fantastic time in Minnesota despite the weather. We left home around one in the afternoon on Friday and arrived about two hours west of Lola's around 10pm visiting one of my Brothers in Richmond MN. The next morning we woke up early to head back for the ride, arriving in Coon Rapids around 9:30 am. I had to follow my nose until I smelled all the crispy cremes. Guess what? I found them. First person to meet me was Otto asking if I was Sluff. We parked our bikes under the overhang and before we were even off the bikes it started to rain cats and dogs. All of a sudden this lady wearing a green T shirt walked over to me with this little bag with a Raspberry filled Crispe creme. What a treat that was. We visited the rest of the day, after the event we helped cleanup, earning a Steak dinner at Texas Roadhouse later that evening, another fantastic treat. Rather than head back to Wisconsin at 11pm we were invited to stay at Lola's mothers house so we accepted, what a beautiful home and they are all beautiful people. The hospitality was awesome, the new found friendships priceless.
