RIDIN' WITH RANDY
Hi Folks,
Well at the time of writing this the Warriors of the Way Dart Run and the Chariots of the Hills 10th Anniversary party are history. between the two events I was able to ride approximately 400 miles or more. First lady, Paula, was able to use the chase vehicle for the purpose to which it was intended (check my blog for pictures) with a bike in the back (flat tire) and the rider in the truck for the rest of the run to our destination. God provided the means for repair of the tube (actually another tube with only three patches on it) to get the operator home. Come to the next meeting to see what happens next in this interesting story.
The WOW Dart Run raised almost $800.00 for the Killeen Crisis Pregnancy Center, they provided good food, coffee and cold drinks as needed and Kay's Motorcycle Mania was very supportive of this event.
The Chariots of the Hills 10th Anniversary party was well attended including Captain Dave and Karen Witten (ex-NLR members who were a part of NLR when the Chariots were commissioned to start their own chapter) I was really blessed to see them at my house early and with a full fuel tank (Captain Dave was always good about that when he was Road Captain for NLR). Don and Susan Potter also accompanied us as well as Tom & Debbie, Janice and Johnny. Don won the slow race, I placed second and Dick Pitre placed third. The brisket was delicious an the BBQ sauce was home made - whew!
There are many things coming up and I'm not even talking toy runs yet! Uppermost, though, are the nominations for chapter officers for 2007. Is God asking you to serve? Prayerful consider your role in the New Life Riders, are you where God wants you to be?
