Tophat Bike Ride, April 28, 2001
The Tophat Bike Ride has been around for years, and is
truly one of the best rides you could ever attend.

Bob and I arrived to see people everywhere! This is one
big event!

Getting ready to start climbing those rolling hills, the
route was not as bad this year.

Rest stop, always a lot of questions about bents.
The rest stop was at a parking lot. The friendly folks
running the rest stop did a great job on the food.

A gathering of the "bents" at the end of the ride.
The closest bent is a home build, a very nice job.
Bottom Line:
This was a fun ride with nice people and good food. There were hills,
and I got up to 43 m.p.h. on one downhill. This is a good ride. The Tophat
has been around a long time, these people really have it together. Give
this ride a chance you won't be disappointed We enjoyed the ride and will
be back next year!
