Truckin' -- Part Two

   Our truckin' weekend couldn't have gone better!  After:

  • two absolutely gorgeous days;
  • delivering rest stop supplies for over 600 bike riders raising money to serve folks with Multiple Sclerosis across Southwest Missouri (the MS Society is hoping over $400,000 was raised -- the MS riders ROCK!!);
  • meeting beaucoup wonderful rest stop volunteers and helpful ham radio operators;
  • only a few minor rider accidents along the way;
  • navigating for DMan across many miles of beautiful Ozarks back roads (and not getting us lost one time and no porta-potties knocked over!);
  • and watching DMan wheel that big truck around like a professional truck rodeo star;
we turned in our truck keys and made it home.  DMan loved it, he was totally in his element.  I had fun but missed cheering on the riders like I get to when we work a rest stop.  We even got home in time for DMan to go see the Springfield Cardinals win their playoff game and me to have a three-hour nap!  Truckin' is hard work!
   Sending out a huge "GREAT JOB" woo hoo to the MS Society staff (Debbie, Mel and Ashley, you gals are awesome!!), the fabulous riders, the sponsors and bike shops, and all the enthusiastic and hard-working volunteers that make the ride possible every year!!  Don't know if we'll be truckin' again, but we'll definitely be working the MS ride next year!  It's a great time for a great cause -- come join us!
