Temps are climbing into the mid 30s... Early morning fog is lifting... Skies are hazy with a little bit of sun shining through.
Around noon, approximately 300 bikers of all sorts will be gathering in the parking lot of a bowling alley to ride with a local MC, (motorcycle club) which has for the past 30+ years, sponsored a Toy Run to the Salvation Army delivering toys for their Christmas Connection outreach. We depart at 1:00 pm sharp. The ride, which lasts about a half hour or so, winds its way through the LC Valley as riders deliver the toys. This run is a hoot and there will be several of us from the Lewiston Clarkson Gospel Riders in this year's Toy Run.
You may ask, Riding motorcycles in December, in Idaho? Yup. It's normal for temperatures to hover around 40° at the time of the run. The run is usually blessed with fair weather as today's run looks to be.
Mrs. abcaines and I will start bundling up in about an hour; some friends will be showing up here and we'll ride together to where everyone will be gathering.
