In addition to the Valkyries in the participants, it was good to see one of the escort officers burning up the road on a Valk. Great seeing you guys who came out, fearless that the Saturday rain might be repeated on Sunday. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure we had anyone from Houston. Eli is Beaumont, Jimmy is Pearland (I think), etc. Aren't there any Valks in Houston?
Your fearlessness was rewarded with pretty much perfect weather, BIG smiles on the faces of those kids, & a bunch of bikes of every kind. A local friend from just south of Houston won the brand new Goldwing.
And, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation behind it was at Texas Children's Cancer Hospital this morning to present them with a check to support their research/treatment programs for the kids.
As a side note, in addition to supporting research right here in Texas, the funds you raised support research being done in the leading research hospitals across North America and the treatments they develop are used worldwide.
What did you guys think of the Polaris Slingshots that were there? I did end up getting to test drive one and it was like driving a really powerful go cart. It wasn't mine so I didn't turn off the traction control, though.
Thanks to those who came and helped. Hope you had fun.
