Annual RKA Charity Ride 11/23

[dravnx]

A fun annual event. You get a group ride, a few laps around the track, hang out with fellow riders and a great raffle. Bring your lunch or eat at the track cafe.

Another successful RKA ride.
77 riders showed up this year. The biggest turn out in 19 years.
Thousands of dollars and a huge pile of food for the Redwood Empire Food Bank.
4 laps around Sonoma Raceway.
Many great raffle prizes.
Fun was had by everyone.

This is the first year I've missed in quite a while. (had to work :mad)
I even made it to the rain-out year and won a track day at the raffle in the cafeteria at the track.
The track day got rained out too. :laughing
I'm glad they had a good turn out.
A great event for a great cause.

The demographics of the riders has changed radically.
It used to be a bunch of sport and adventure riders with a few pirates.
This year 3 or 4 patched clubs showed up so it was mostly pirates with a few sport/adventure bikes.

I dunno. they were all behind me.

I remember walking by your bike and thinking you’ll never lose that thing in a snow storm

:laughing:laughing:laughing:laughing
The nice thing is if I’m at a bike night I don’t come out thinking about which black street glide is mine. The downside is people always telling me they see me ride and I have to wonder if I was doing something stupid or not
