So I did the Toy Run
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2005 6:31 am
You may remember I came on here a few weeks ago and asked for pointers, tips and advice about going on the Fort Lauderdale Fun in the Sun Toy Run. I did do it and I took the girlfriend. Not only did I have a good time and nice ride but I think I'll do it again next year.
I wrote up the whole event (even to finding a two inch scratch on my bike while at the assembly area) and took pictures of some of the more amazing bikes. You can read about it here at my blog Biker Diaries.
As much as I appreciate everyone's point of view, I recommend any rider going on this kind of event if they never have.
The biggest disappointment has to be with the local press. 30,000 riders participated and an additional 30,000 people turned up at the event afterwards. The whole thing was expected to raise over $500,000 for a local hospital and all those gifts for needy children.
What was in the paper? Nothing. A picture with no story, just a caption.
Thats sad.
