November ~ December 2009
This page still under construction, patience please : )

 Well another long year is about over. We bikers and riders in the Rocky Mtn Region had an awesome riding year with several major, international mc events being held in or near our State of Colorado this past year.

You can visit the SITE MAP to catch up on those events if you haven't already. Look for the monthly updates on the right hand side of the page, about 1/3 of the way down.

The Rocky Mtn Deaf School Poker Run and Picnic was a big success, it was postphoned from a terrible snowy weekend in Oct to an absolutely beautiful sunny day in November. Turn Out over all was good, however the biker turnout was a lot less than last year.

Here is a Summary of the days events and a slide show:
 
It was so sunny, the air so comfortably warm and Fall-fresh that the bikers who showed up to support the Rocky Mountain Deaf School (RMDS) were totally stoked. A more beautiful day to ride at this late date in the year would be a rare day indeed. I know many of you were riding Saturday Nov 7th, cause we saw tons of you out on the road. At some places, Red Rocks Park for example, it was downright crowded with bikers, bicyclists, hikers, dogs and all sorts of other critters and activities that make a little ole' Poker Run for Charity exciting and fun.

The Second Annual, Bikers Supporting RMDS Run was a smaller success this year than last - due mainly to having to be postponed from it's original date. Remember that really snowy, really cold weekend we had October 10th? Well a poker run would not have been much fun that weekend, so it was changed to the Nov 7th date.

Unfortunately for all the riders who did not show up - it was an absolutely gorgeous day and ride, better organized than last years run. The food was good and the party at the Barn in Evergreen was even better than before (and last year's party was pretty cool too.)

This year much of the entertainment was supplied by some of the elementary school students themselves. Seems they've developed quite a few performers amongst the 40 or so deaf students who attend RMDS. They performed skits, told stories in American Sign Language (with an interpreter speaking English on a microphone for those of us who don't read sign) and even performed dances. They were awesome! Grownups enjoyed the mc ride, silent auction and poker run, while smaller children played at a variety of fun activities, including mud from the snow melt. A really great day with lots of fun in the sun for all involved for sure!

Of course, it's all about the kids anyway - they desperately need a new school building. The kids and staff have had to move 4 times in the past few years. They are trying to build a permanent home for the school. If you would like to help out by volunteering services or donating money to the Building Fund, please contact Rocky Mtn Deaf School at: www.rmdeafschool.net or by phone at 303 984-5749

There is a video from last year's event on You Tube under the Harleydanzer name. Find other information on my web site www.bluecreekartworks.com From the Home Page click on deaf class information .
