PGR mission for Lnc Cpl Tomas Valero Rodeo, Ca

CLICK ON A PIC FOR A MUCH LARGER PIC!!

Three PGR riders showed for the services, Grant from Santa Rosa, Glen from Sacramento, and myself. Thirteen other bikes showed up to make some noise during the cemetery escort.

both Tom and his dad Lyndon loved cars and bikes, which accounted for the number of bikes that showed up.

Lyndon planned a special ride to the cemetery with Tom's ashes, a 1930 Ford! With a 327 and three dueces. A great looking car and it sounded just as well as it looked! Glen was all over that car, loved it.

Lyndon at the wheel told the riders to look out as a couple times on the way to the cemetery, he was going to light up the tires!!








The service lasted thirty minutes and The procession proceeded through some construction to Highway 4, over to I 80 and to the cemetery. I 80 was busy as usual so the bikes had fun with run blocking. We did get threaded a bit but everyone made it to the services safely.

Lyndon forgot the Honor Flag and one of the bikes went to get it, and on with the service.

It was an honor to be there and I thank the family for inviting PGR!!

Last but not least, I took a few shots of the bikes at the service. Some nice looking hardware!!!
