  Speaker 4: before the ride, normally it won't rain.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: This is very true.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: That's it. That's it on you all dress up. That's
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: it so true.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about the roote. I think there's a lot
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: of folks that are that are questioning uh this year
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: because it's always it's always the same route. It's it's
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: time and tested. We know what to expect, we know
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: where we're going, however safe. However, this year, a ton
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: of construction from Barry on three oh two all the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: way up to the uh three oh two twenty five junction.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yep, So.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Question mark here, what's what's the route going to be?
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Uh, we're gonna stick with the same route. We had
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: contemplated changing the route and then our secondary route it
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: went under construction worse than three oh two. So we've
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: been monitoring three oh two. We've been going out and
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: riding on it, and it's even though it's scarified, it's
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: better than what it was when it was pavement.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing? And it's just how true that is.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be a nice road when they're done. But yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: we don't go flying down the road. We do the
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: speed limit, right. You know, they do a good job
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: cleaning it every night when they're done, so the dirt
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: and sand is gone, yes, So you know it's just
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: gonna be a nice, easy ride like it always is.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and safe and safe for the beginner riders as well.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: So everybody's still you know, we're looking at for safety
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: for everyone, right.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the key here is those gigantic.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Craters, the potholes and the big cracks that have turned
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: into motorcycle eaters. Yes, are they're gone.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: They're gone, especially up by uh dollar General and all
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: through there.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, heading out towards the roundabout by three or two.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: It's all nice. It's scarified, but it's it's ridable.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: So a little noisy and a little bit of.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just be patient, take your time. We're not in
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: a hurry. We got all day.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, and we'll all stay together.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: We're gonna we're gonna leave together. We're coming back together.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and nobody's left behind.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: So no, you know, no matter what flat tires or
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: anything else, we've got you covered.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: True. Once you bang a right onto twenty five, Uh,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: it's a little funky for like that first.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: First mile or so, it's it's a little rough, but
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: you know, yeah again and you get them big cracks
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: in the road, but sure, we'll we'll take it easy
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: on that section. Then the rest of twenty five is beautiful,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: all the way down to Brad.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yes it is.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: And then once you get to once we get to Brad,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna stop at limb.

  Speaker 3: Tractor trailer has spit up on the roof of P
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: and H.

• 11:40
  Speaker 4: They don't want anybody going up on the roof anymore. Yeah,

  Speaker 4: Yes, it was Jean and Gary and Gary started and
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: then when they back when we started this ride seventeen
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: years ago, Gusta's wasn't open on Sunday, and that's why
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: we started riding on Sundays so we could do it
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: there without interfering with their business. But yet they would
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: still come down, roll their sleeves up after closing the
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: bar our Sunday morning at three am, and.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: They were there a few hours later.

  Speaker 3: morning to get your bike registered, try not to show
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: up right at the last minute. Try to get there
• 39:35

• 39:38
  Speaker 5: To keep registration only up until ten thirty.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: If we can, we will take you know those after
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: the late you know, the late arrivers. But by that

  Speaker 3: extra cash too for some.

  Speaker 5: And you know, and the other thing too. I want
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: to say about the wristbands.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: You do receive a wristband when you register, and that
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: wristband gets you through the barbecue line, right, so we
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: will when you come into the line, we will be
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: taking that wristband, yeah, as you go.
• 40:34

  Speaker 6: I mean we'll have the swag at registration as well,
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: but then we will still have it when you come
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: back from the ride, okay, so everything is still going
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: to be there.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: How many bikes are we talking about, Like in the past,
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: we've had I think the record was like two five
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: or something like that somewhere.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was Randy Tucker's ride, and that
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: was phenomenal.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: That was a.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Lot of bikes.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't mind hitting that every time.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, it'd be great see everybody come out.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: But we've always had at least one hundred bikes.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yes, even even on rain days days, even
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: last year when there was another bike ride that was
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: planned on the same day, we still had sure.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: We usually all your clubs will send a couple representatives
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: to go down and represent.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, And I think that's wonderful. There's so much
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: camaraderie here with motorcyclists. I mean there's bikers that come
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: in and you' all have seen this in the past,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: that bikers are going for their own ride and they're
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: coming over from wherever, New York or whatever, and they
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: kind of stumble across this and they're like, Hey, what
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: ell is this all about? Oh yeah, great, thirty bucks.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: We want to jump in. We don't we don't know
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: this this beneficiary, but we want to jump.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: In and be part of this.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: I love that, and you know, and it's it's funny
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: because to put a challenge out there, like we have
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: Iron Order who comes out with many members.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: And then we have a Legion group that comes down from.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Waterbury and Combat Vets.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: The Combat Vets. Yeah, so I mean, put that challenge
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: out there. Whatever your organization is broken jokers.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, every every club knows that, yes, they're there
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: to represent themselves, but they're also there for a reason,
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: and it's not to fight. It's there to do a cause.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Bikers are kind of their own breed. These guys get
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: a bad rep because they're bikers, not just club guys,
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: but bikers in general. Everybody gives them ship.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: Well, most generous people you'll ever meet.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: People could hop on their bikes and ride in any
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: direction they wanted any day of the week. But yet
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: they take the time to come to this ride and
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: donate all the money that they would spend driving somewhere
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: else for this cause, just because it's the good reason.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Whether they know the recipient or not. I love that.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Some years this has benefited more than one person at
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: the same time, but this year it's it's all going
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: to Edite.
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: Okay, is more than one time that there was two?
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: Twice we did Tammy and Dennis and Lynn and Steve.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Lynn Craig and Steve England and Steve England.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Stay offered it to my wife the year she
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: got cancer.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: Wow, we've offered it to a lot of people who
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: have always been most Every time we talked to somebody,
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: they say, no, just you know there's somebody out there
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: who could use it more than and Eddie said the
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: same thing, but very much so. Because everybody is proud.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: It's not It.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Wasn't that, but me and my wife, we had a
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: support system, we had insurance. There was too many people
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: there that didn't have a support system, a husband to
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: sit in chemo with stuff like that. Those are the
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: people that needed it more than our family do.
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: And there is I mean when we get the nominations,
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: I mean there's a process that we go through. So
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: I mean it's not like, oh, well, you know, because
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: this one is a family member or this one. It's
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: not like that. We do have a process that we
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: go through. And you know, the one who basically has
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: you know, has the medical bills, has the because they
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: add up, I mean they add up quick.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: So you know, it's I think OMO was.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Like fifty thousand dollars of treatment. Yeah to pumper full
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: of fucking poison.
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's I mean the need. I mean obviously
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: we're never going to raise enough.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: To cover you know, no, but it's a huge help
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: because you've.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Got to buy I mean, when you're going through chemo
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that, you don't have you're not out
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: grocery shopping, You're not. You have to buy stuff quick food.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Stuff like that.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: You need gas money to get to your preptions whatever.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: The you pay all this money for insurance and then
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: they still make you pay a fucking cope. I don't
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: don't understand is the biggest scam around.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: We found that fire Tyler.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: I'll never understand the whole Copey thing that it's just crazy.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's I mean, we raised a lot and
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: this year I think this year was the most amount
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: of people we've had nominated. Yes, yes, we had in
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: every year. It just seems to grow every year of nominations,
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: people who are nominated. It's just cancer is hitting fucking
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: every everyone.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: We don't take care of ourselves. There's everything around us,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: everything you.
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: Eat, but they say even chew and bubblegum, now you
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: can get cancer.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: So it's you know, what do you do really?
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: You know, it's in a box. It's an industry. It's
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: an industry.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: Mm hmmmm.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: We don't look for solutions. We other countriesat a band aid.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: That's all they do.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we treat symptoms. We do not look for solutions.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Like I was talking with Big Kenny yesterday and he's like,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: come so civilly doctors and you know they they just
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: keep throwing shit. Yeah they do because you have ten
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: different symptoms and your the reality is your responsible for yourself. Yeah,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: whether it's self defense, whether it's your own health, you're
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: responsible for it. Because all the doctor's there. When you
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: walk in you say I have a pain in my foot.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: He goes, well, this pill will take care of the
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: pain in your foot, right, not that your foot is broken,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: and what the actual solution is.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: That's the last thing they'll find.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: And they're just gonna keep hitting you with treatments to
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: your symptoms until it's blatantly obvious. You know, your foot's
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: broken or whatever.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: With me, when I had my heart attack, they put
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: me on ten different medications. Well, each one of the
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: medications came with another side effect. Then they would give
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: me a medication to cure that side effect, which would
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: cause another side effect. So now I've refused every almost
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: every one of my medications, and I feel one hundred
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: times better now because I'm not letting them put me
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: full of shit that they're just packing into a pill
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: and saying, here, swallow this.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard deal. I've heard so many people.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Say that if you feel blowed, if you're if you
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: take your fingers and you feel like they're swollen, that's inflammation. Yeah,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: you get that from our food. Yeah, right, that's if
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: you're feeling that way, then start start with a fast,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Start with a minimum, do it, at least do a
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: twenty four hour fast, get everything out of your system.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: But that's exactly what's happening, is that inflammation is the
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: food that we're that.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: You're eating, right, And I'm not this hippie herbalist, but
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: there's a book, there's books out there that show you
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: natural shit that you can use. It gets rid of
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: the same side effects that these pills are giving you us.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: It's so true. You know what was a really really
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: good nutritional guide? Yes, the Bible really one hundred percent.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Don't eat pork? Why do you not eat pork? It's
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: full of sodium with very little nutritional factors to it.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: But it tastes so good though, Rex.
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: Anything that tastes good is shitty for you.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Wow, there you go. At some point you need to
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: figure out are you eating because out of the enjoyment?
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Are you eating to survive? Back then, they ate to survive? Wow?
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Did they live to be nine hundred years old? Were
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: they fasted?
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: No?
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: But not only that, we were hunter gatherers. We didn't
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: eat every single day because we had to chase our
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: food down, we had to prep it, we had to
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: eat it. Yeah, so we only ate as humans. Our
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: bodies were built to eat every few days. Then they
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: would do what's called they would do a forty one
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: day fast once a year, and that alone produces so
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: many billions of healing stem cells. So if you're doing
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: that once a year in replacing your body, look at
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Keith Richards. Keith Richard from that guy growing two and
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: twelve now, but what he was doing late he does
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: blood transfusions from young children because they have human they
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: have stem cells in their blood, they have human growth
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: hormones in their blood. Stuff that as you once you
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: turn twenty twenty one years old and you're you're start growing,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: stop you stop producing though you don't produce human growth
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: hormones anywhere. So that's how those guys did ship tons
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: of heroine. Then they would do blood transfusions, and their
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: bodies are still able to heal, they're still alive. But
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: all of this is explained in the Bible. It depends on.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Like how you perceive it. Yeah, he just said heroin
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: and the Bible in the same sentence.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So back in the day, it was what wine.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: You had your drunkards, you had your prostitute. Those are
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: the people hanging out with thieves, drunks, homeless people. Those
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: were the ones hanging out with Jesus. It wasn't the
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: good person that lived on top of the hill in
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: the castle. So I'm not gonna mention any names or
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: any castles or beyond that.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: It's so true, well said I did. I might have
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: been yep, you know. And poor Eddie man, he's he
• 50:18

  Speaker 3: something like that, and he's running up to the hospital
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: back and forth, and he's got the colostomy bag now,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: and it just I mean, he's This is.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: The real struggles of generational Vermontors. This is nothing new.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: This is what generational Vermoners have been going through for years.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: That's the reality that most of us grew up with.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: This dude has worked so hard his whole life.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: Been in the granite industry since he was sixteen, and
• 50:53

  Speaker 5: he didn't. He did not want to take from somebody.
• 50:59

  Speaker 4: Proper because she can't ride no more.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: I think he's playing that.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: I think so. I mean, I think it was more.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Why do you think I have a single seat on
• 51:20

• 51:21
  Speaker 3: So so he is he is is Eddy riding on Sunday.

  Speaker 4: Randy's leading the ride.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: To the blockers man absolutely kill those ship happened and
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: having us all stay together and making making us safe,
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: holding up, holding up traffic, to make sure that we
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: all stay together and if it if it pisses off other.
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: Motorists, and it's clearly at times it does.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: And the tourists from Massachusetts. Have you had the bird
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: flipped at you? Oh?
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: How many times?
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: You can't count? I can't.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: I've had cars breaks up before.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: Try to go around, trying to push through to get through,
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: and we've had people right here and Barry that just
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: drive through and try going around somebody, and and almost
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: everybody in this ride, even if they're not a blocker,
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: they will pull in front of this person, slow them
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: down and start cussing them out like you are you stupid.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: We're doing something here and we.
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: Can only ask the public to be patient with us.
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: You know, we're gonna go through and then you can
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: be on your way. It's yeah, you know, it doesn't
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: take long.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Just think that could be you some point getting those
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: cancer treatments.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Or your family member or you know, because we're not
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: doing it just to be a burden. We're doing it
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: to help somebody who is burdened.
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: And please don't try to cut into the middle of
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: the group.
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: You know, even if there is a space, it's you know,
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: we try to keep it together, say, you know, for
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: safety purposes as well.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you split the group up, then what happens,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: especially you get inexperienced riders that try to catch up.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Remember what was at beach there trying to trying to
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: drive leads like trying to drive Passionate because he was
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: overriding it, trying to catch up. Yeah, you definitely you
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: don't want to do that when you're in groups, especially
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: when you have so many different levels of riders.
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but our blockers are They're amazing. I mean, Travis
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: is really good as far as keeping everybody. This is
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: you know, how it's going to be. This is how
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: it's done. This is what we need to see, you know. Sure,
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: and yeah, kudos to Travis.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: Thank god Cindy's here to keep us three who lookings
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: together and say.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: It so well, little do you know she's probably the
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: leader of the past.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right now, important question here. When you've been blocking
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: and you've been flipped Travis, have you flipped back?
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: No, I'm always polite. Come on, you can't. I know,
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: I know, because it pisses them off more when you
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: smile and wave at them.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, when you get off your motorcycle and hit their
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: windshield with a ball peen hammer.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you've done that, and that's that.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: I've never had to do that.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: I've just kind of I'm not saying that I've hit
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: a car with a ball peen hammer. I may have
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: hit a car with a ball peen hammer accidentally. I
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: was trying to check your tires. I was trying to
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: check their tires at fifty miles an hour on the road. Yeah,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: I missed and hit their car.
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: It wasn't a hammer. It was a tire checker.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, the tire checker, ball, peen hammer, it's all
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: the same thing, same thing.
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've had somebody, you know, creep right up
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: and just about touch me on the leg because they
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: were trying to push their way out and I just
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: turned and lifted my my riding gear. Cars they did,
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: and they realized that, oh I probably shouldn't.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: I've had guys just try not to look at me
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: and try to just pull into my lane with me.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you know on there. Yeah. Wow, that's
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: why I drive like an idiot. I don't want to
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: be around any cages whatsoever. I will split lanes. I
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: don't care.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: Give me the safest way to do it. You don't
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: have to worry about somebody driving over the back of you.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: No, And I'm I mean, whatever, if I kill myself,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: it's myself. Yeah.
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: Well, with that being said, the ride is really sick.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we don't ride.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: The ride is set for nob for uh low level
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: or for every level, every level.
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: Experience, all the way down to beginner.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: It's not like you're getting on a ride with the
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: l's Angels and you're doing white knuckle tire to tire
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: at a hundred botles an hour. This is not that wrong.
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: I mean I I have a friend who used to
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: be our babysitter, and she wanted to learn how to
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: ride bikes. So we took her out and showed her
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: how to ride a bike. She took the course to
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: get her life. Yeah, and last year was her first
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: big group ride, which was the Biker's for Bath Ride. Wow,
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: and she was so excited. She was scared. She was
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: scared to do it because it was so many bikes.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: But when she get you know, that wasn't as bad
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: as I thought it was going to be. It was
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: really nice because yeah, it's set for you know.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: So what it is is basically, when you have new
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: people that you're riding with, you dictate the pace. You
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: go up front. You never let a new rider lead
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: a group because they don't know, they feel like they're
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: being pushed and they'll go into corners too fast. So
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: when you're teaching a new rider, you have a new
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: rider in a group, you dictate the pace. So when
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: you come into a corner, you slow down way more
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: than you normally would and you get the entire pack
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: to slow down so that every level is going to
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: make that corner.
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Randy is exceptionally good at that.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so just setting that's why he leads the race.
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: It leads in the race, leads the very time because
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: he knows how to do that and he's good at it.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: Who's doing our opening prayer or opening ceremony this year? Okay,
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: what a great guy.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: Ye went from the ben No, he just does a prayer.
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: He does a prayer for everybody and then we get
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: on our bikes. But coming from beneficiary to being a
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: big part of the ride, a lot of the beneficiaries
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: are now members on the staff.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: Help. Lynn Craig is one of you.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, and he was also Randy Tucker.
• 57:33
