The 2009 Polar Bear Ride was awesome. The weather was great.Everybody that went, met at the Buck-n-Gator ,It was 31 degrees when we left, a little chilly. We rode up to the Happy Tavern, at Johnson Siding,They had chilli for those that were hungry. The ride home temp was 35 degrees (didn't feel the heat). Back at the Gator they served steam burgers w/ chips. A good day for riding..... Dave & Patti P.
