Full wrap up coming up, but for now a few photos for ya… Oh yea! Check out the Kickstart Site for details on the week of upcoming stupid fun. (sorry that should half been fun with a capital F!)

Since we have been getting so much rain lately some of the roads have flooded again. So we have to reroute. Mike and Fritz are working on it now. So DOWNLOAD THE ADDRESSES because we WILL NOT BE PRINTING MAPS. If you get separated from the pack you will need the info. OK? ok. ~ Walter

P.S. Yes we are still going. Bring some rain gear.

Well… Here we go again. The pre party starts tonight around 6pm. at the shop. Even if you can’t make the run, come on by and meet the crew and have a few drinks. We will fire up the grill and have some burgers, dogs and good times. See ya there.

GR5 sponsor and motorcycle enthusiast Chris Moeller of S&M Bikes sent us a Custom CR 24 BIG BMX CRUSER bike to raffle off to some lucky Gypsy Runner. While we were talking we thought it might be cool to have our resident artist Kris Henderschott paint it to make it even more better. (he is feverishly working to get it done now!) Then we decided we should do something worthwhile with the money so we decided to raffle off the ONE OF A KIND S&M CR24 GYPSY RUN SPECIAL and donate ALL the proceeds to AIDAN HAS A POSSE. If you are unfamiliar with Aidan’s story click the link. If you do know and would like to make a donation, we set up a paypal thing over there in the sidebar to make it easy for ya. We will be selling raffle tickets for $5 each at the PRE-Party, and on the Gypsy Run. When we figure out when the drawing will be, you will be the first to know. Thanks ~ Walter

Chris Moeller of S&M Bikes Handsome, ain’t he?

Kris’ first sketch.

I have been getting s bunch of emails and calls asking if people can come for just part of the run. Here is the thing, you are welcome for one hour or the entire run it doesn’t matter. No one is going to look down on you if you can’t be there every second. Furthermore, no one cares what kind of bike you ride. If you are a douche, having a “righteous panhead” just makes you a douche on a panhead. See ya soon ~ Walter

Admittedly the weather, at this point looks like shit. Just remember a lot can change in four days. Keep yer chins up!
I’ll keep an eye on things and keep you up to date. ~ Walter

This weekend I had a meeting with Papas, our Executive Chef, To go over the menu for Saturday night’s cookout. (That’s right fuckers, we have an Executive Chef!) After going over the menu all I can say is “OH BOY, OH BOY, DEM IS GOOD EATS!”

Fritz and Mike 47 pre ran the route this weekend. There might be a few small detours, but all and all the route still looks great. I’m gonna finish up the run books and post them in the DOWNLOADS section ASAP. Fritz wanted me to remind you guys that there are NO TOLLS on the run this year. Everything is looking good!
