Cruising For The Kids

The Chrome Divas of Orlando met up at the Orlando Harley-Davidson this morning to ride in the Orange County Police Athletic League's Cruising For The Kids ride, a fundraiser to help keep kids off the streets.  A nice breakfast was offered and live music was playing while we all registered and visited with other riders.

Local radio personality Shannon Burke getting things started.  Shannon did a great job getting the word out about the ride on The Shannon Burke Show.  (We'd like to send a big thank you to him for also getting the word out about the Chrome Divas of Orlando's participation in this event.)

Prayer and The National Anthem before the riders' meeting

Our escort vehicles ready and waiting

Let's ride!

The 30-mile ride was escorted by the Orange County Sheriff's Department.  They were stopping traffic for us all along the way as we headed out toward Windermere and ended up at the Central Florida Fairgrounds.

The Divas with Dan Haggerty. 
Most of us know him as "Grizzly Adams."
All you younger Divas will have to Google that one...

Workin' it.
The Divas had a booth to welcome anyone interested in learning more about the Chrome Divas of Orlando.

Lunch at the Central Florida Fairgrounds

Victoria won the $300 cash raffle!
Akili was also a raffle winner of free yoga classes.

Bunny and Dan Haggerty
(After riding with him many times in the Love Ride in California, it was surreal for me to see Dan Haggerty on the East Coast, especially since the Love Ride event was taking place that very day out West and I was feeling a little bummed about not being there.  What a nice surprise!)
