2007 HOG State Rally…Fairbanks - Part 1

Went to the HOG State Rally, which was in Fairbanks (pretty much rotates between north & south in Alaska for now) this year.

Lots of the same familiar faces as well as some new ones! Minx and I always appreciate going to the rally as it’s a great place to meet & greet as well as hookup with many people we have not been able to connect with (for whatever reason). We can all let our hair down and enjoy three days of fun.

We took off Thursday morning. A little chilly, but warm enough that it wasn’t a bother. As usual, we left Anchorage and had breakfast in Wasilla (we normally eat at the 49er at four corners, but it has been closed this year) at the Trout House - formerly Windbreak Cafe.

Poker Run for Face and Mary

There is a poker run being setup as a fund raiser for Face & Mary (who went down Memorial Day weekend after the Beyer's Lake event) for the Saturday, June 23rd. It's a ride from Anchorage to Seward - specifically to end up at the Pit for the Sentinels Solstice bash.

Poker Run will be $20.00 per hand, with a 25/75 split (25% to the winner / 75% to Face & Mary). There is a call for door prizes, etc. to add to the run. Pound-4-Pound will be also making special T-Shirts for the run with the proceeds going to Face & Mary.

The VNV have a tax deductible corporation (VISTA - Veterans In Service To Alaska), that will allow all donations to be charitable.

They want to keeps the groups small (less than 20 per group), to manage the run and traffic as it's high RV season.

Been So Busy I Hadn’t Talked About Beyer’s Lake!

Been so busy with the aftermath of the Sunday Beyer's Lake Run that I realized I hadn't actually done a run report on the ride or event!

The Annual Beyer's Lake Memorial Day ceremony it put on by our local Red & Black chapter.

Rain, wind - in this year's case…hail - does not stop them from performing the ceremony.

Bikers from all over the state come to pay tribute to those who gave their lives defending our nation.  It's a humbling (and for me tearful) ceremony as we honor, and for many of us remember the lives lost.

The ride from Anchorage was uneventful.  A bit on the chilly side it was a good ride to Wasilla (some wrecks, but they were cages).  Once we made it outside of Wasilla was when the weather turned.  There were spots of reall bad rain but overall, you could getaway with just chaps.
