Eventually, if you ride enough, you are bound to run into construction. George got blamed for this road

Once past the construction we found the Teddy bear Factory

You never know what you will find on the roadside in Vermont

Supper across the road from the hotel at Mogul's for smoked ribs and chicken. No driving needed!

We even got to chat with the owner. He gave us all tee-shirts

Allen lead a ride and guess what... MORE construction

We visited the birth place of Calvin Coolidge

The Coolidge homestead took you back in time

What ride is complete without lunch

Friday the Red Knights went to Rutland fire to line up for the parade

From Rutland fire we all were escorted back to the mountain for the official line-up

We waited

And waited

And finally started the 12 mile parade into Rutland

Coming into down town Rutland

Once we passed under the flag we parked on main street and enjoyed the music

These guys looked and sounded JUST like the real thing!

George got to meet Vermont governor Jim Douglas

Saturday we went on the memorial ride for Ray Davidson.

The saying goes: "If you wear fire boots in Vermont Ray taught you how to do the work you do while wearing them"

We rode through the mountains and over switch-backs

AND we rode through MORE construction

This was Rays gear

After the ride we stopped at Vergennes fire for a cook-out.

Al Holmes was tired I guess. It looks like he took a quick nap.

Then IT RAINED!!!
