SRC - Day 2

Day 2 of the SRC conference began with a breakfast at the Red Rose Inn followed by a Chapter Presidents' meeting where we learned that there were 280 participants representing 28 Chapters at the conference.  The majority of the meeting consisted of minor housekeeping matters and politicking by Brothers running for International offices.  If you are interested, you can read their bios on the International website and the SRC website.

Things got a whole lot more interesting well over 100 motorcycles, escorted by PCPD and Chapter XXVII members and led by "Ace" set out from the Red Rose at 11:00 for Country Roads Ride via SR-39, Old Hopewell Rd., Henry George Rd., Keysville Rd., Virgil Hall Rd., Walter Hunter Rd., Jameson Rd., back north on SR-39 to Keysville Rd then to Turkey Creek Rd. and Medard Park.  The ride and those escorting the ride were highly praised by all.  I have had several requests for a written copy of the route so others can enjoy it in the future.

Once we arrived at the park, we were served an excellent pulled pork and baked bean lunch.  We were also treated to the presence of a large alligator swimming the waters next to our pavillion, much to wonder, appreciation and apprehension of those not accustomed such sights.

At 7:00 p.m., we all gathered back at the Red Rose for the conference banquet.  The food was up to their usual excellence, but the best part of the evening came the comments ofd the keynote speaker, our own "Ace" McDaniel.  Great job, Bill.
