Mad Dog Run 21 IS STILL THE BEST

Run 21 is fast approaching equal status with the Redwood Run. Two warm star filled
nights and 8 great bands. The crowd was huge this year. In prior years you could get
there early afternoon and find a spot. Normally I am a solo rider or with only one or
two others. But this year I lead in 10 or so other bikes.

There was no place for a group of that size in the normal area. However they had just
opened and overflow area. We were the first in there. At first it looked pretty crappy.
Just a hole in the fence and a trail down a ditch to the other side. But after getting in
we found a nice grassy area and even had shade. It was a walk to the downtown
area but after a trip or two was not bad. Most have already decided to go straight to
that spot next year.

The weather was pretty much perfect. While the sun was out there was some nice
cloud cover that prevented it from becoming a scorcher. The bands Friday and
Saturday night were great. The crowd was in the thousands.

Saturday we had 2 rides with the main group heading west to Astoria for Fish and
Chips. My self and one other headed for and East to West loop to Tillamook. We
took the outstanding twisty Hwy 53 and Miami River road there and back. What a
great ride that is.

Run 21 has been going for around 10 years now. For most of that time except for
one transition year from the prior promoter it has been one of if not the premier rally
in Washington and Oregon. It was great to see Mad Dog the original promoter there
for the first time since he retired from the event 4 years ago.

Mad Dog thanks for your work in the early years.

Thanks from Randy The X Man
