OK all you fine folks out there in the 10th District, it’s time to plan your ride to Colorado Springs for the 2009 IAFF Motorcycle Group’s Rally and the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial.
The Rally is being held over September 16, 17 and 18 and the Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial is on September 19th.
Both events promise to be, in my humble opinion, life altering experiences. If you've never been to the Memorial events that follow in downtown CO Springs prepare to be WOWED!

As always, herding all the cats in the 10th District into some semblance of order will likely prove to be a bit of a challenge but we continue to try.
