Well we had some 129th folks coming home! Great news! AND only ONE change in plans!!!
Stay tuned, more are coming in June 5th, we hope!! I LIKE 'um coming home!
Unfortunately we had a few show up 5/28 at the day that didn't happen, sigh...

So we staged at the Valero on San Bruno Ave, as usual... and had a great crowd! 14 bikes, we gained two more with the transport military riders at SFO, and one more merged, on the way to Moffett so there were 17.
I did learn a lesson the hard way, that's normal... I came up 280 and over on 380 to 101 and went right by San Bruno Ave!!! There was no exit! #)$!*%) So I got a short tour of SFO and back on 101 back to San Bruno Ave, sigh...
That's M'sgt Tony's bike in front... The Ride Captain... he really makes the Moffett rides easy!
Tandem gas semi came in and wanted our spot.. move bikes... Tandem trailer wanted out!!!...... move bikes!!!! GBG
Click on the pic and look at the license plate! That's my Goldie on the right...
Jake and wife Georgie, fellow members of ALR District 13! He has a '03 Valk with glasspak mufflers that bark real nice!
I'd also like to thank the Mt Diablo HOG and STAR riders for being there, they are consistent riders!!
"The Bus"!! Those poor folks had to go into "quarantine" and get blood taken out, and I don't want to know why! I'm very sure they just wanted to see their families that were a short distance away!!!
It gave the group about an hour to visit and a lot of troops came by to chat, even an ALR member!
This was a pic of the parade! Of course we had some "fun" on the freeway, but that's normal... Tony did a GREAT job with the mission, we slipped thru security, no hassle! And we had a security escort with the lights flashing and when we left to go to the families, siren's a blaring!!! And of course, there were some mufflers barking quite loud!!
The flag line that the folks were going to walk thru... Did you ever hear of hurry up and wait!!!?? So we waited while the troops ate a hot dog and then they walked thru!! And that was real nice!! It was a GREAT honor to watch the troops and their families walk by! Many thank yous and welcomes were spoke!
More flag line and we had the same on my side... And that was real nice!! It was a GREAT pleasure to watch the troops and their families walk by! Many thank yous and welcomes were spoke!
"the bus" and the troops were over there with their families having lunch! Then they came thru the flag line....
The reward for patience!!!!! We got to bite a dawg too!!! They had a bunch on the grill so we got to "participate"!!! GBG And at 1430, folks were "eating 'um up" !!! GBG
I keep telling folks, on PGR missions, there is NO lunch break! Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich and carry trail mix!!! You will survive!! If you don't ... you will get very hungry!!! GBG
