Title: Olympia Washington Toy Run
Post by kimchris1 on 10/26/10 at 18:42:21

For those of us that can make it. Dec 4, 2010 is the date for this annual event.
This ride benefits the children who are less fortunate as others.
I am so hoping to attend this year. My hopefully last Dr. appt is on Dec 3rd. I plan to have my bike running sometime in Nov.
Last year their were approximately 15,000 bikes. The year before count was said to be 10,000.
I love doing this ride. They close all the streets off and nothing but bikes are allowed. We ride up and around the Capital and then over to another area. Their people line both sides of the road with their bikes.
Their are nothing but bikes for miles and miles.
You look around and everyone is smiling and in good moods.
It does not matter what you ride as everyone is doing this for the same reason which is the kids.
We decorate the bikes and once we get to Olympia before the run begins, we attach the toys to the bikes.
It is interesting to see how everyone else decorates their bikes as well.
Then along the way, people line the sides of the street waving, holding thank you signs as well as saying Thank you.
Some who ride 2 up throw candy to the kids along the way. It really is a great time.
It is a very well organized event. Again I am hoping to take part in this. :) kim

A group of us from the Suzuki Owners club are going to make this run.

Sounds like a fun time. Too bad it's a ways away, and in the middle of my work "week". :P I keep telling myself the weekend shift differential is worth having to miss all the cool weekend events...
I don't think I'm believing what I'm telling myself. :-?

Hey John, tell your boss it's for the "kids". Unless he is Scrooge, he may let you have it off.. :) kim

I got a shock from Piglet for Genie. Piglet sent me a lil Piglet charm like the one that is on her licence plate. This charm will be attached to my bike so that Piglet is with me all the time..
