Counting the days!
OK, don’t know about everyone else, but I am getting very excited with each passing day! We are 15 days to the kick off of Sturgis Bike week. I know some of ya’ll will be leaving in 12 to 14 days, but I am in hopes that I will be leaving in 11 days, July 30th.
I am truly amazed at the response we have gotten and the numbers of drivers/riders that had signed up to ride and camp with us while there. What started as a crazy idea, (so I thought), has turned into almost a major event for the drivers in the trucking industry. We have Truck Shows all over the country all year round. Never before have just the drivers tried to create an event for fun, outside of the trucking industry. They wont be any show trucks to shine and polish, (just your bike), there wont be any driver recruiters, no truck dealers trying to talk you into buying their truck, no people telling you how to make it in the trucking world or any other of the things you see at any other gathering of truck drivers.
For once, drivers are getting TOGETHER to HAVE FUN! If that doesn’t make you excited, I just don’t know what will!!! We have gone from a hand full of drivers saying they will be joining us a couple of months ago, to almost 30 drivers with family and friends, somewhere around 40 to 50 people so far, that are now saying they have their reservation at the Iron Horse campground. Isn’t that great!!
For me, it is a dream coming true. I have always wanted to go to Sturgis and I love meeting other drivers. We are going to have a great time and I look forward to meeting each and everyone that attends.
REMEMBER this, even if you can’t ride up on your bike, if ya get a load through the area, we will pick ya up at the truck stop of you can catch the shuttle and join us for a few hours or a few days. We will love to have ya there!
