Candy Man also known as SSgt Walrus

This is a great video of Central Route Road Guards this year hustling to Williams Arizona to set up the parade route (I am guessing on this but from the Mile Markers and terrain I am probably right.) what a difference a year makes, last year it was cold and snowy on this stretch of road.   These guys are all volunteers, and they work their butts off to keep the riders of Run For The Wall safe.   The last two minutes of this video is awesome, there is a quick pass of tootsie pops.  Those little candies are ideal for motorcycle riding, and Clyde always has at least two boxes somewhere on him when we do the run.....is it next year yet.  I cannot wait. Please note that this was done by guys that ride in formation together for over 7000 miles a year.  That is just an estimate but Road Guards put on twice the mileage of the folks in the run.   I do not recommend that this be done, nor do I think that I could do it, but it is sure cool to watch.  In other words Do not try this at home kids, it was done by professionals on a pretty much closed course.  The previous announcement was to make Gallupe happy, he is right this is not an example of what riding on the run is like.  Riding on the run takes 100% concentration and awareness at all times.
