On March 19th there was a run for Mic, who has been around this<br />
area for a long time, working at some different places as a bartender<br />
and a damn good one at that. She was diagnosed with cancer and<br />
has been undergoing treatments including Chemo. As usual the<br />
bikers community came together and over 80 of us signed up for<br />
the ride in spite of the forecast calling for 90% chance of rain.<br />
American Legion Post 117 held the sign up and had breakfast<br />
available for those that were hungry. And yes the rain came that<br />
afternoon, it literally poured. The good news was that I was already<br />
at Lou's Filling Station where it was nice and dry.<br />
There were a lot of baskets for raffle and donations to help with<br />
some of the expenses that Mic has with this battle, The lady of the<br />
hour was able to make an appearance for a while that afternoon and was surprised and slightly overwhelmed to see the support<br />
and love that was there for her. Special thanks to all of you that made the ride or the benefit, to all the stops that<br />
stepped up, to all the businesses that donated items, to Lou's for hosting the event and also to Fawn and Lisa for all the hard<br />
work they put into pulling it all together.<br />

<strong>April</strong> 16th, <strong>2016</strong> is the date for the 5th annual BIN RUN. There are flyers all over Facebook and on walls and windows<br />
all over town. Sign up will be at the Shriner's Auditorium on Eau Gallie Blvd. As usual the ride will be escorted by the<br />
Brevard County Sheriffs Dept.. If you have never been on one of these rides you should go and see what it feels like to<br />
ride down I 95 at 60 mph with no other traffic on the road but all of us bikers and the deputies. These guys do a great<br />
job every year and we are so thankful for their support year after year. The ride will end at American Legion Post 117 in<br />
Palm Bay. And of course there will be food, drink, vendors, music, raffles, auctions and 50/50. Hit N Run will be the band<br />
on stage and the famous DOC Holiday will be there helping out with the tunes.<br />
There are still vendor spaces available and it is not too late to become a sponsor and get your company's name or logo<br />
on the back of all the shirts for the event.<br />
As always the cost to ride is $5 per person and donations of non-perishable food items, toiletries, paper products, pet<br />
food.....<br />
I would love to see everyone of you out for the event this year. Can't ride that's cool just join us at the post after the<br />
run.<br />
Registration starts at 8am, Chaci will be there with his food truck like he was last year.<br />
If you need more info or want to find out about being a vendor or sponsor feel free to send me a message in F/B or call<br />
me 321-373-3200..........BE SAFE<br />
