For those of you who do not know what this is... Here they are on their way to the Pentagon and then off to the Memorial. It was a great site to see. Next year, I will make it down to DC.

Great shots especially since they were shot in full sun! Full sun scares me, lol Both of my brothers are bikers so these shots definitely remind me of them.

Run for the Wall came thru last weekend. Very very moving. Has anyone seen the news yet on how many ended up at the Memorail Wall in D.C.?
Great shots Pat.

Wind - all I have heard on the news here in DC is Thousands of people no exact # yet...And Jake, it was really cool to hear them all, when they got near the kids, some if not all of the bikers revved the engines, just to make the kids happy - very nice...
