Highway to hell rally
What happened at the highway to hell rally?
Bunches of folks rode Edmonton to Pigeon Lake and hung out around Norris beach. Ate ice cream and chatted. Some made their way to the beach others did not. Maybe 120km each way i think.
A big range of scoots went. 4 stroke 50's all the way the big boys.
Some people liked it and some did not.
It wasn't perfectly planned nor perfectly executed. Stuff was learned.

Angry posts were made. Recriminations abounded. More angry posts were made and subsequently deleted. Clever pins bragging about surviving the now infamous Crude City Death Ride were manufactured. Good times. Good times indeed.Kevin wrote: Stuff was learned.
