2011
WNBR Lex August 27th, 2011
- History was made on August 27th, 2011. About 50 to 60 riders took to the streets of Lexington, KY in protest of our seemingly endless dependency on oil. The weather was perfect, no one was arrested, and everyone had an awesome time.
We gathered between the baseball field and Clay street in Woodland Park at 7 PM for body painting, eating, and festivities until 9 PM when we rode out on a 10 mile trek threw the streets of Lexington. Everyone cheered us on, and we all partied hard at Al's Bar until the wee hours of the morning.
- Kimball Roy: (December, 1964 to August, 2010) You'll be forever missed my friend. Thanks for everything you've done to help get this idea I had into a reality. For that you'll be remembered forever.
