Our 4/15 attempt brought 50 members to Polk City H-D on our initial try to bring TH Bacon back to Gator H-D.  A sunny, warm day provide the backdrop for a massive turn-out from the membership.  Four other chapters also attempted 'raids' but our huge group dominated the ridership, but points for the competition are scored by the formula of riders multiplied by distance (in miles) ridden. While only bringing 28 members, New Smyrna H-D had the mileage advantage - winning by a mere 68 points😢🫣...we needed 1 1/2 addition riders to secure the win.
