Cannonballers

These are some crazy folks. I met up with Jerad in Charlottesville and we rode to Whites Ferry to meet and greet the cannonballers coming through DC on their way to their final destination, Ocean City, Maryland.

As we arived we got on the ferry and met 2 cannonballers. Jerad paid for my ride so I paid for theirs. As we met in the parking lot, there were a few others already there. Joel Hamelton, who was so excited to see people and share his story of how he made it to this point alive. We chatted for a bit then decided it was so chilly we were going to find coffee. As we returned we found a few more folks that came in. Oz, looks just like his picture. Pistol Pete introduced himself, as did Glasseye. Jess arived with them, but I gave him a moment to get situated before I hunted him down. :o) It was great meeting them all.

Sadly, I heard Bagle broke down, and I never got to meet him.

I rode with the group to Vespa Washington. As I was pulling in there was this lady standing on the side that pointed me out "Hi" "Hello" "Valerie" "Yeah" I had no idea who she was. Turns out it was Page, Jess' wife. They were so happy to see each other.

Thank you Vespa Washington for the yummy pizza.

There was really not a lot of time for chit-chat there as they has already lost time waiting for riders to come in at Whites Ferry. So to get close to back on track they had about 10/15 minuets to say high, then they were off again. I took a video of their departure.

Everyone seems to have made it safely to Ocean City and some have already made it home. Jess and Glasseye are going to be making their way back to CA via truck with their bikes on a trailer. I wish them the best of traveling time. I am curious though, who gets to drive first. LOL
