Bruce Stechmiller and Skip Choate were guests of honor as approximately seventy people celebrated the beginning of the Five Points of Life ride. (also participating in the ride from Gainesville are Perry McGriff and Tracy Walker). Liquid refreshments of beer, wine, soda, tea, lemonade, and water quenched everyone's thirst, while delicious food complimented with a variety of desserts satisfied the appetites of all present.
Master of Ceremony Cliff Gionet (aka. Domestique, Dom) led a short prayer asking for a safe trip and return of the riders. He then proceeded to say a few kind words about Bruce and Skip, who in turn spoke briefly about what the trip meant to them. Wives Angela Choate, Joyce Stechmiller, and Peggy Pierstoff were thanked for their support, and for organizing the party. A fun time was had by all. Thanks to all who attended.Sunday, bikes and large luggage pieces will be transported to Mobile. Monday, riders will travel to Mobile.
Tuesday we will meet the other riders, get acquainted, check our bikes, attend meetings, and get ready for Wednesday when it all begins! Stay tuned!
