9th Annual Biker B!tch Ride

July 19th, 2014 marked the 9th Annual Biker B!tch Ride.

BB Run Plattsmouth 42

 .

It was a day full of adventure, uncontrollable laughter, new friends, old friends, cocktails and plenty of open road.

Curious on the history of the Biker Bitches?  Find it here.

Our Day Started at Quaker Steak & Lube in Council Bluffs, IA where we convened for Bloody Mary’s, burgers, shirt exchanges and first-time greetings for a few of the gals.   We all were so excited for the day that lay ahead of us.

The Steel Horse is tucked away in a typical small rural town.  A bar, post office and a few houses make up Newhawka.

Oh, and the flag pole placed in the middle of the only paved road that leads in and out of the community.

BB Run Newhawka 20

Newhawka had NO idea what to do with us.

We had a few drinks and the girls were adorable enough to toast yours truly for arranging the day.

Thanks, chicks.  

I sure love you crazy b!tches.

Pretty sure we made some ruckus on our way out of this town. 😉  It’s to be expected as the day moves on and the drinks keep flowing.

Just making our presence known is all.

Ahem….

Heron Bay

The owner was in rare form that day, so getting drinks took time and patience.   It’s ok, though.

We know how to entertain ourselves.

I love Heron Bay for the outdoor seating along the river.   It’s relaxing and peaceful.

…until we take over.

The peace went out the window with this rowdy crew.

After about an hour at Heron Bay, and knowing we had two more stops ahead of us, we loaded up and headed out.

Oh, good.   We can still take normal pics at the end of the day.

Most of the crew split ways at this point.  We had a group from Iowa that wanted to get back before the sun went down.

The rest of us?

Well….. I’ll let the photos do the talking.

After Dr. Jack’s a few more of us went to Anchor Inn and closed out the night dancing, singing and laughing before calling it a rap at 2:30am.

.

Another B!tch Run in the books. 

Another spectacular day with crazy ladies who I love dearly.

And can I say, holy photos?  We took 229 that day.  Clearly, ain’t nobody have time to look at all those.  I spared you.  And I spared some of the girls. Let’s just say, some of those photos are best kept private.  🙂

I say I am pretty darn lucky to know some kick-ass chicks.

Cheers to 2015 and the 10th Annual Ride. 

….Look out.  It’s gonna be crazy.

1.  This quote.   Everything about it.  I live life in the fast lane; constantly moving, exploring, experiencing, living.  I wouldn’t have it any other way.

2.  This bread.   All of it.  YUM!  One of the healthiest out there, and seriously so good I could eat it plain straight out of the toaster.  No shame in admitting that.  Give it a try.

3.  This Bar.   Heron Bay, Louisville, Nebraska.  ❤

4.  This shirt.   I scope out open back shirts to show off my art work.   I’ve got some new ink coming soon.  Eek!  🙂

5.  Bike Night:  Wednesday Night Bike Nights with the girls at Quaker Steak and Lube and Buschwackers.  Cocktails, girlfriends and some twisting of the throttle.

6.  Post-workout.  Man this stuff is so yummy.  I LOVE fruit punch anything.  And this really helps with muscle rejuvenation and also worked great for endurance when training for my half marathon.  I am not near as sore after workouts thanks to this little 8oz shot of goodness.  Try it out!

7.   THESE GIRLS!  You guys!  The 9th Annual Bitch Run was July 19th.  And I HAVEN’T POSTED ABOUT IT YET!  What the hell is wrong with me?!  It’s because there are over 160 photos.   How do I even?   It’s like I start to post and then I get overwhelmed.  Too.  Many.  Pictures!  I promise I will share soon.
