3rd Annual Compassion Run 3/29/08 Pt 2

Part 2 of the 3rd Annual Compassion Run starts with the setup & registration process on Saturday morning. I got there before 0800 hrs to help with the set up & take pictures of the same. I hopped off the bike & went to take some pics of those already there & the disks I bought the night before (my camera uses 3x 5 computer disks for "film") were all showing disk error & would not load...You can imagine I freaked as I took off for Wally World to get another brand...Alas, they didn't have another brand...Do you know how hard it is to find old style floppy disks at 0800 hrs on a Saturday morning? Went to 4 different places before I ended up at Target...They had the good disks, Thank you God!!! Made it back to the church at 0845hrs, the setup complete & registration starting..So I apologize to you brave ones who got there & did the set up. I don't have any pics of that..But I hope to make it up by the pics I was able to get that day..The first pic is of the riders arriving...Remember, if you want to see the picture bigger, click on the pic..Also, since this is a series of six long blogs, you may have to go to the left side of the blog page and in the archive column, click on the blog page ya want to look at and then have fun!!!

This is Lamont...Coming back from Target, he was about 2 miles behind me..His bike has the brightest headlights I have ever seen on a ground vehicle. More like landing lights!!!
