Went on a fundraising ride for a police charity today. The ride was escorted by our county’s finest. They stopped traffic on cross streets and at ramps on interstate highways so that our ride could proceed unimpeded. It is quite something to have the Capital Beltway to yourself!

Here are a few photos… great ride!

Our escorts… local motor officers:
Ready to ride. I am fourth back after the officers leading us.
Several of the professionals who led us took a moment for a photo with me at the staging area.

Some of the boots on the cops:
Are these gaiters or puttees?

Life is short: support your local cops and enjoy the ride!
