HELP US FIND THIS CAR AND DRIVER!!!!
Do you know the owner of this Hyundai?
Incident happened Thurs. June 18th around 3PM on Hwy 24, just west of mile marker 346. a few miles East of Calhan. Driver of Hyundai attempted to pass the red SUV, while 6 bikes and our support truck and trailer were occupying the lane. That did not deter him, nor did it slow him down in the slightest as can be seen in the picture of me and my wife threading between them, as the the rest of the out Legion Riders.

As a result of this near miss, two of our bikes did indeed collide with each other in our attempt to avoid the car. No injuries thank God, but there is damage to the Motorcycles.

If anyone does think they know this vehicle, please comment below
OR
Contact Colorado State Patrol. Case #28261775.

We had Lorenzo Trotter and Pappa G from post 209, along with George Sleeman join us on our trip to Taos, NM this year.
Saturday we rode through the beautiful mountains and stopped to paid tribute at the Angel Fire Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Then rode onto the Revive the Ride Veteran focused rally in Red River where a good time was had by all.
Sunday was a casual fun ride through the hills to Chimayo for lunch, followed by a somewhat advturous ride home up out of the Gorge on our way back.
Learned a few things on this trip, had some great nights around the campfire and made new friends.
Can't wait to go back

Check us out - we meet the 2nd Friday of the month at the
Latigo Trails Equestrian Center

🇺🇸 Happy Heavenly Birthday, SPC Dane R. Balcon 🇺🇸

Today we remember a hometown hero who gave everything for this country. Dane was only 19 years old, but his courage, sacrifice, and love for this nation left a legacy that still lives on in our community today.

We don’t just remember how he was taken from us… We remember how he lived, with purpose, with pride, and with a heart to serve.

Your name still rides with us. Your sacrifice is never forgotten.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13

Rest easy, brother. We’ve got it from here. 🇺🇸🔥

Our community needs us.

A local family just lost their husband and father in a tragic car accident. He was an Army veteran and the main provider for his family. He leaves behind his wife, 5 children, and 1 more on the way.

No family should have to face something like this alone.

If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help support them during this incredibly difficult time. Every little bit helps.

🙏 Let’s show them what this community is about.

My name is Lisa Post, I am posting this on behalf of my sister, Marie-… Lisa Post needs your support for Supporting Marie-Christine and Kids After Alex’s Loss
