Cruise for the Shoes
We gave my husband a birthday present of tickets to an Asheville Tourists game that was a joint event with Lumus Harley Davidson's Cruise for the Shoes ride. We met other Biking families at the Harley Shop in Swannanoa where there was music and food set up, my kids got to look at bikes and old cars, meet Ted E. Tourist, and watch Daddy and the other participants leave for their ride. We reconnected with them at McCormick Field when their ride was over, and got to go into the park early. We talked to Aubrey from Ghost Town Harley, (who is my kindergarten son's favorite Harley girl), then we walked around and entered drawings, judged bikes in the show, and heard a local (and very good) blues/rock band. Before the game we met the man who threw out the first pitch. He was a 91 year old WWI vet named Andy who is the most decorated vet alive if I understood him right, and later became the mayor of Montreat, who was able to talk to my older son about the service. Then the ball game, actually a double-header, and my youngest was picked to Race Ted E. Tourist around the bases. I won a drawing for the anniversary Harley Davidson Coffee table book and a mug, and in between the games my husband and other riders rode a parade lap around the field! Needless to say it was a big time for the whole family, and a birthday present my husband will always remember!
