Zoner1320 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Did anyone else know about this ride? I found out about it at the last min. It was freaking awsome. Police escorted no worry about traffic lights. Rare opp to run red lights in downtown cleveland. over 2,000 bikes showed up. about 90 percent were paint shakers. Really good time.

Vulcan_Rider Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I went and I liked it but I almost got taken out by some asshole doing a u turn right in front of me because he didn't want to wait in traffic. This is the 3rd time i have done this ride and i like it more and more every year. Just have to watch for the damn cagers that get impatient.

Nice!!Where were ya at line up? I was lined up by the boat docks.That was my first time doing that ride Just freaking awsome. The news said that there were only 1200 bikes in it. The food vendor told me that there were 3 thousand people there. When I went to check in they had handed out 1300 wrist bands and I got there at 920. so there were way more than 1300. about 5 miles worth of bikes!!

Likwid Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Lol, it's not so much that he's a bitch.... it's partially the route and time we need to leave and take.... and that he's a bitchI'm on my temps and I'm actually staying off the highway and not riding at night. So it's state routes only and we'd have to leave by 6 ish... kind of crappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 when?This Saturday, 6/6/2009.@Topgun: Where can I get some more information on the children's hospital one? My mom volunteers for the hospital (she brings her 2 goldens in... the kids LOVE seeing dogs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan_Rider Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Aug is the teddy bear run for the childrens hospital. it is by far a smaller run but well worht it to see the kids smiling as big as then can!FUCK THE TEDDY BEAR RUN!!!! It used to be one of the biggest runs around Cleveland, it used to bring in over 4000 bikes. That is until people started to find out what they were doing. All donated stuffed animals that were not factory wrapped, or were left over after all children in the hospital were given one, were thrown into semi trailers taken to a city dump and burned to ashes. All of the charities and other hospitals in the area would have gladly taken them but no they said fuck it loaded five 52' trailers and BURNED THOUSANDS OF DONATIONS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T NEED THEM. They are selfish assholes and I will never ever donate to that cause again. If you want to do a good hospital charity run for kids do the Fairview Hospital toy run on 6/28/09.Just in case I didn't make myself clear FUCK THE TEDDY BEAR RUN AND ITS ORGANIZERS!!!!!!!!!!!

TopGun Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 that is the first I ever heard of that! where was this information found? I would liketo look into this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan_Rider Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 that is the first I ever heard of that! where was this information found? I would liketo look into this. Thanks.One of the guys in the group I ride with hauled one of the trailers to the dump. He was dispatched and told to pick up a trailer from behind the clinic and drop it at the dump, no loading no unloading, grab it and go, then drop it and go. This of course got him curious so him and 2 of the other drivers dropped their trailers went up a hill parked their trucks and watched as a bobcat pulled all the stuffed animals out of the trailers into a pile and were set on fire.

Likwid Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Not that I don't agree with you (cuz I do) but could they be destroying unwrapped toys for fear they have something in/on/wrong with them?I mean, not like factory wrapping = people proof... just wondering if that's why.
