Main Run 2002
June 9th, 2002

Here we go again, everybody.

First we start with the preparations...........
 I call these people....

THE POTATO GANG
A big thank you goes out to these people for peeling hundreds of potatoes
for that wonderful potato salad you all ate.

       

 

June 9th, 2002
LET THE MAIN RESTAURANT'S
9th ANNUAL POKER RUN BEGIN.....

This is your roving photographer at work again...

I went to bed late as I was downloading the pictures from the Poker Run I went to yesterday and of course I stayed up late......  I get up late.....

I hurried up and got dressed and got old "Daisy" (my bike) out of the garage and off I go.... wet hair and everything.......

I arrive at The Main, camera in hand and start taking pictures before I even stopped the bike.... 

Here we go....................... Have fun!!!

PLEASE NOTE:   I am FINISHED with the pictures, so if you see your picture in here and you don't want it here, please email me and tell me what the number of the picture is and I will take your face out of it.  Tell me what position you are in in the picture.

NOTICE:
I truly regret that I will no longer be able to send the large original copies of pictures here.  My computer's Hard Drive Crashed BIG TIME.  I am now using my old 8 gig HD until I get my new replacement 60 gig HD.  I did not back up any of the pictures.  A hard lesson learned.  I will take off the protective script and you can do what you want with the small pics here.  Hope you have some good luck.                    ~Sharon ~

Inside North Coast Cycle are Bobby & Vicky Sharp.
They were kind enough to be open the whole day in case anyone needed to buy things for their bikes.
They usually go on the Main Run, also.
A Big Thanks goes to you and your partners for staying open.

The Signup Table for the first points..
I just made it for the signups because as I was signing up, the bikes started to roar.
Everyone was lining up for the run.

18

I quickly hopped on my bike, fired it up and headed towards Broad Street.
It is there that I took pictures of the bikes starting the run.
It was awesome....

 It is here that the cop came down the street to start our parade out of town.
Notice the bikes starting to pull in behind him?
