TRUCK

We give each other road names.  Don't know how he got his, but this time last year, TRUCK was asked to be honor guard at Arlington National Cemetery, laying the wreath for Run For The Wall.  We were all so honored watching him our guest of Run For The Wall, a new participant who is still active duty military.  He stood alongside a veteran rider of Run For The Wall, "Manybikes" guess how he got his name.  This guy works his heart out getting us off the right exit as we roll down interstates across country, then stands in a salute as we follow his directions, with a sweet grin on his face.

This year I had the opportunity to get to know both riders a little better.  I had the honor and privilege of working with Manybikes at registration in California.  We registered 620 riders, whew, fast and furious!!


 Here's a pic of TRUCK in front of somebody's RV all decked out for Run For The Wall!!


Then TRUCK was asked to step up to the 6-pack, a group that rides just behind the lead element, keeping an open space called a POCKET, for the Road Guards to come in and out.  I had the distinct honor of pacing many of our riders that were active duty as we rolled down the highways of this great country - wish everyone could see the AMERICA I SEE on Run For The Wall, does the heart good.
