Southwest Police Motorcycle Training and Competition
Well, all I can say is WOW!!!!! Our event is over now and it was a huge success. We had 103 competitors from 4 different states show up. The first day which was training and practice started out with rainy and just flat nasty weather. We didn't let that get in the way of riding, however, and our confidence really shot up as we found we did have traction and everyone got used to the course and the exercises. The weather cleared about halfway through the day and the afternoon session was great.
Saturday dawned clear, dry, and beautiful. We had a great day, no one got hurt, and everyone learned from each other and enjoyed the spirited competition. We had tons of spectators and vendors and raised lots of money for Special Olympics. Once the numbers were crunched, we hit around $40,000!! We were so pleased with the support, thanks to everyone who participated and sponsored us. The resuls are posted, click the link at the top of the page.
Las Vegas announced that they will be hosting the event in 2011, and it will be the first weekend in April. I will post a link here as soon as more info is available. Please plan on being there. I will be retired by then (hooray!) but as of now am planning on being there to volunteer my services and keep our event going for many years to come.
