Congratulations to Jennie and Corey
Congratulations go out to Jennie on her marriage to Corey. I guess Jennie has a good excuse for missing this Saturday morning's ride. After the ride, a group of us decided to crash her wedding and she was a good sport about the whole ordeal. Hope we didn't get any grease on your dress Jennie! Click on the picture for a larger view.

Fellow Lodge Rider Eddy Zeilman Speaks About Bin Laden Death

Former FDNY Member Speaks
Retired Firefighter Calls Bin Laden's Death 'Overwhelmingly Satisfying'
POSTED: Monday, May 2, 2011
MP/JIR/WS
VILANO BEACH, Fla. -- Retired NYC firefighter Edward Zeilman wasn't sure he would ever see the day Osama bin Laden would be captured or killed.
Sunday night, when the president announced the terrorist's death, Zeilman's dream to capture the man who had killed some of his best friends became a reality.
"It's a small step in terrorism, but to take a poster and just put an 'X' over his face is just overwhelmingly satisfying, and it shows the fortitude of America that we won't give up," Zeilman said.
Zeilman lost nine of his fellow firefighters on Sept. 11. Zeilman helped recover bodies immediately after the attack and was instrumental in NYC's 10-month recovery process.
Video: Retired New York City Firefighter Speaks Out
Zeilman still has a piece of the twin towers inside his Vilano Beach home. Zeilman said the death of Osama bin Laden will bring comfort to the families that he, for years, has helped to console.
Retired New York City firefighter Edward Zeilman lost nine of his fellow brothers on Sept. 11th talks about what Osama Bin Laden's death means to him.
"My whole existence was taking care of widows and family members. The ripple effect is endless," Zeilman said.
He said bin Laden's death starts a new chapter in American history, one he hopes isn't filled with terror and hate.
"If they had caught Osama bin Laden right after it, I would have reacted stronger to it, but after seeing so much travesty, it's like enough, enough, enough of this bad energy," he said.

New 2011 BLR Kits
We are now working on the new BLR kit for 2011. We are also looking for sponsors, so if you know someone who might be interested, a small logo is $50 and a large logo is $100. That's a GREAT deal for any company sponsor. Walter is going to contact the beaches bike shops to see if any would like to place a logo on the new kit.
The order deadline is June 30th. We wanted to make sure the kits are available for this year's 6 Gap ride in Dahlonaga, GA. If you would like to order a 2011 kit, please email Walter at cyclecamp@comcast.net. Just tell him to put your name on the list and we will get sizes and payments closer to the order deadline.
