Huge, huge, thank you to everyone who contributed and / or participated in today's Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride.  The event was a huge success; we blew through our goal of 100 riders and $10K raised, coming in just over $13K with 106 registered riders, about 90 of whom showed up.  That's almost double the size of last year, and we grew last year even with covid.  We are now the biggest ride in Colorado for this event, having beaten Denver two years running now.  

I'm seriously a little taken aback. Seeing an endless stream of bikes in my mirrors as we started the ride gave me a great sense of belonging and accomplishment.  I really do appreciate every one of you who helped, this year and every year.  

Album is below; if we seem a little soggy in some of these pictures it's because we had beautiful weather in the morning, then it started raining literally within five minutes of riding out, and ended with a biblical deluge. No kidding, we got *hailed on*. And then the weather promptly got beautiful again five minutes after we got back.      All for a good cause.  Enjoy the pictures and we'll see you next year.

Special shout-out to RMRATS Bob, Denise, and E-Steve who all supported my ride!
