Greetings from Wild and Wonderful West Virginia.
We were blessed throughout the course of the year with extra rain which produced beautiful fall colors! My son, Striker and I were able to get on the motorcycle a couple of times this fall to breathe the crisp air and witness the myriad of colors which are painted on the trees. I hope that wherever you are, you were able to get some quality fall riding.
I also want to take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to our Veterans. As you are well aware, we celebrated Veteran’s Day on the 11th. How did you spend your day? Mine unfortunately was spent here at work, but we were treated to a special lunch to thank us for our service. Striker and the Mrs. went to the annual Veteran’s Day Parade and had an amazing time.
Did somebody say Turkey? In just a couple of weeks, we will gather with our families to celebrate one of my favorite holidays. Thanksgiving is a time of reflection and remembering what we are thankful for. I am thankful that I live in the greatest country on the planet. As we enter this holiday season, I encourage all of you to just take a moment out of your day to be thankful. Remember our troops across the globe, the ones who are still Missing in Action, and always remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation.
The Central Route has limited edition t-shirts for sale! Boots and I worked together to design this fund-raising t-shirt which will only be available for the 2027 Run. They can be purchased through the RFTW Shop and every shirt we sell the Route will be given a portion of the proceeds. This is one small way you can help support us as we travel across the country.
Till next month….
