A
Tribute at Ground Zero
It all started Sunday morning
at 08:00 in North Haven where the Southern Connecticut riders got together to
start their ride to New York City and Ground Zero. We got the word that
the group from Boston, Cape Cod, And Auburn, Mass. were coming through Meriden,
CT and stopping at the rest stop on Route 15 to fuel up for the ride to NYC.

Now its about 10:00
and the next stop will be in NYC at Ground Zero. The best part of the ride
was when we got to the New York state line and we had a New York Police
escort to just outside NYC. Then we had New York Highway Patrol with about seven
motorcycles and a car. As we were traveling along the highway the motorcycles
would block the entrance to the highway so as not to break up the ride.
When we got to
Ground Zero we had a chance to stretch our legs, and look around. Not
a lot to see, but we had a little service for the lost of family and friends,
and the people that we didn't know.
This is about
three blocks North of Ground Zero.
We stopped here for about 30 minutes.
The next stop
was at FDNY in Hell's Kitchen at
Hook
& Ladder 21 and Engine 34
