THE DELAWARE TOY RUN WAS A 125 MILE RUN-THOSE PRESENT WERE ED & COAL GEIB, JOHN YOUNG*, BLAIN HERTZOG, JIM BAER*, GLEN HEISEY*, MATT WOLF & KENDRA, JIM ALEXANDER. *= GUEST
WE STARTED WITH A GOOD BREAKFAST AT GEORGES RESTAURANT IN WILLOW STREET. THE TEMP. WAS IN THE 40S AND WE GOT ON THE ROAD AROUND 0820. WE HEADED DOWN RT. 472 OUT OF QUARRYVILLE AND EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO WILMINGTON. FOUND THE PLACE PRETTY EASY AND DIDNT EVEN GET LOST. LIKE ANY GOOD COP FUNCTION THEY HAD PLENTY OF DONUTS AND HOT DRINKS WAITING.
AROUND 1130 WE TOOK OFF ON A 15 MINUTE ESCORTED RIDE DOWNTOWN TO THE SALVATION ARMY WHERE WE DROPPED OFF THE TOYS. IT WAS THEIR BEST TURNOUT EVER AND THE BIKES FILLED THE STREET FOR TWO BLOCKS. THEN IT WAS BACK ON THE BIKES FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR RIDE THRU THE COUNTRY AND BACK TO THE DAP (DELAWARE ASSOCIATION OF POLICE) BUILDING.
WE RETURNED TO HOT DOGS, CHILI, AND DOOR PRIZES, ALONG WITH SOME WARMER TEMPS. WE THEN HEADED HOME AFTER WE GOT BLAIN OUT OF THE BATHROOM. HE WAS AMONG THE MISSING FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT WAS A NICE TRIP AND A GOOD TIME. AS ALWAYS EDS BOX AND COAL WERE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
