Border Raiders at our Church















79 Border Raiders stopped and signed in and took a break a few more may not have signed in. There were 135 riders temp and heat index was high at noon was 91 and index around 100! The oldest was 74 a couple of 72s the rest was a little younger and you have to give them credit they were to make 70 miles this day. By the end of their tour will have traveled 500 miles this week and we have had high heat indexes all week.
They were from 24 States - Washington, California , Illinois, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, etc..
Started arriving at 7:00 am and last 2 pictures is of couple on 2 seat bike that were not going to stop we were told, but as I was picking last sign up one mile away after closing. Seen them coming down the road and they had been with out water for 45 minutes. Needles to say went back to church and open up and got them cold water a snack and a break.
