St. Mary Cyclefest

Nancy, Bill (Nancy's friend) and I took part in the St. Mary Cyclefest, sponsored by Brian's HD, on Sunday, July 19th. The even benefited advanced cancer care at St. Mary Medical Center. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a breakthrough in the treatment of otherwise inoperable tumors and the Medical Center's area of greatest need this year. This was the 3rd year for the event and each year gets bigger - 400 motorcyclists took part in the 65 mile ride through Bucks County. The ride started at Brian's HD and ended at Core Creek Park in Langhorne. We enjoyed a delicious BBQ lunch of pulled pork, pulled chicken, spare ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, salad, watermelon, potato chips, soda AND desserts (the chocolate did not hold up very well), as well as live entertainment, a silent auction, Chinese auction, vendors and a live raffle drawing for a 2009 Harley Davidson motorcycle or $7, 000 in cash - I would take the $$. There was also a photographer who took your picture at the end of the ride ... all included!

We did have a few women - and men - ask about the Motor Maids and gave out the information. Hopefully, we can pull some more ladies from the Bucks County area. Maddie & Marcie work at St. Mary's and are looking for ladies to ride! We told them the Motor Maids are just what they are looking for!

It was a beautiful day for a great ride that benefited an even greater cause.
