Kernal Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted June 12, 2012 A hugh thank you to the Venture Riders that attended the Cancer Schmancer Motorcycle Rally on the 9th of June. It was a great ride for a great cause. The day was excellent with the weather and the ride had something for everyone. Pictures will be forth coming. I was great to meet the other members of this group that I have only communicated by threads on this site. The comments were extremely positive about every aspect of the event. Plans for next year are being made. Thanks again to all that attended and looking forward to meeting those that will be attending next year.
