First of all, it was really great to meet some of you at the Toy Run. What a great day we had. The sight of 250 bikes all going up the highway was indeed awesome and knowing we were making a difference in someone's life made it that much better. Q's place is great. My hubby said it was one of the best runs he has been on.
Glad to hear it went so well!!! 250 bikes is quite impressive!
Great Pictures FX.
It was great to see so many Bikers out to support and give to the kids.
As always Gumbo's food was terrific.
We had a couple of people riding with us that have never been on a Toy Run before. They could not stop talking about how great it was and they could not believe how many bikes showed up. I think we will be seeing these people at every run that they can make.
A true thanks should go out to the Police Officers from Leesburg and Eustis. They were great.
Thanks again to everyone that turned out and God Bless all of the Children.
The generosity shown by the motorcyclists of Lake County and Central Florida toward the women and children of Lake County was overwhelming yesterday! This was by far one of the best turnouts we have ever had.
A big huge thanks is in order for all those that made this happen for the women and children of the Haven and Kids Incorporated.
Donna did a bang up job organizing the event as did the many folks that helped her. You folks are fantastic!
For those if you in Central Florida that have Comcast Cable and get the Villages News Network, VNN on channel 2, look for the story they did on the Lake County Motorycyclists Toy Run 2006 this week.
I made a change to the video links above to make the viewing of the Slow Race videos easier. They can be viewed with the Apple QuickTime Viewer which is free. Download it here if you don't have it already. http://quicktime.apple.com/
Enjoy!

Hi everybody,
I went to the toy run on Saturday and it was great! We collected a lot of toys and enjoyed the ride to Omega. The party was awesome also at Q's afterward. I heard we had roughly 240 bikes attend this year. We are getting bigger and better each year! Thanks to all the people that helped to organize all this year, especially Gumbo and Donna.
