Bike Run For The Coalition For The Homeless Of Central Florida

On Sunday, January 9, 2011 the Chrome Divas, along with many other bikers in the Central Florida community, loaded up their saddle bags with requested food donations and joined in on the ride to benefit the Coalition For The Homeless Of Central Florida.  The ride began at Porkie's Original BBQ in Apopka, where breakfast was served for all who participated. 

After breakfast and the riders' meeting, everyone rode to the Coalition in downtown Orlando.  The residents of the shelter were waiting outside with "Welcome" and "Thank You" banners.  The children could hardly contain themselves as they watched over a hundred bikes roaring into the parking lot.  Some of them were brave enough to ask to sit on the bikes and the Divas obliged.  The ear-to-ear smiles and joy on these children's faces really touched our hearts.  It was a very rewarding day for many in the biker community. 

Well, for most of us it was...

It's back to the mechanic he goes.
We're hoping for a speedy recovery!
