We have arrived!!

There is 19 of us ready to hit the road in the morning... 15 guys and 4 gals here from all over the country. We will start out tomorrow at 6:15am and headed directly over to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Facility here in Charleston, SC. I haven't been there since I quit Border Patrol in 1998... We are holding a ceremony there and then will head out on the road towards Orangeburg, SC. Temps tomorrow mid to upper 80's please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers. We will have many touching ceremonies along the way.

we ride for those who died!

Cleaned bike - check

freaking out that I leave tomorrow- check

GRIN...getting down to the wire...too much to do and not enough time, but got to meet Matt's Aunt and Uncle last night, Linda and Cap Neilson, what incredible people. It makes riding so meaningful! God has truly blessed me!

Creation of the blog for the Police Unity Tour 2009

I decided to create a new blogspot for the 2009 Police Unity Tour. As the days draw closer and closer the final preparations are being made for us to head to South Carolina. Kevin Whalen, from Nothern VA, along with a whole crew of people will be picking me and Chape Frye up in Henrico on Thursday April 30, 2009 and then it's southbound to Charleston, SC for our team meeting.

By what I hear it's early morning wake up calls all around as I hear we are getting on the road on our bikes around 6:15am on May 1st. My goal is to up date this site each night and include some of the days photos. I hope this blog inspires Officers to participate and/or at least support the Police Unity Tour. It is an amazing group and an amazing mission we strive for.

Please keep checking back for updates. There will be an article coming out May 1st in the Daily Press about the tour and on May 8th in the Toano Norge Times about me and Chape doing the long tour from South Carolina to DC.
