Limey Ride to Las Vegas Bikefest

What: Limey Ride to Las Vegas Bikefest

When: September 16, 2005 - Staging from 6-6:30AM

Where: Metric Thunder - 1411 N. Batavia St Orange, CA 92867

(1 mile east of the 57 fwy/The Pond of Anaheim near Katella & Batavia)

Stuart - Limey - Hamilton, who helped me start Metric Thunder in May of 2003, passed away suddenly in August of 2004. He and I rode to the Vegas Bikefest together in 2003 and vowed to attend again in the years ahead.

In keeping Stu's memory alive and celebrating his life, Metric Thunder began sponsoring an annual ride to the Las Vegas Bikefest, http://www.lasvegasbikefest.com/, in his honor.

We'll have hot coffee, donuts, bagels and some Stu memorabilia to share with friends of Metric Thunder who join us at the shop on Friday morning the 16th of September before we head out to the high desert.

We plan on stopping along the way to pick up other riders, as we did last year. There will also be a brief remembrance at the Calico Ghost Town cemetery off of I15 along the way.

Once we arrive in Vegas, there are no formal plans, just have fun and enjoy the town along with about 30,000 other bikers!

Please RSVP to bob@metricthunder.com if you can attend all or a portion of the ride.

Hope to see you on the 16th!
