2009 CLUB NEWS & UPDATES 

12/25/09 Well go figure! No one did any extensive riding during the holidays! I guess we all had to be ready for Santa! Wishing everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS from Station 202!
 12/06/09 On the road again! why does it always seem that the coldest day seems to be the best to ride in? Sun is out! No wind to speak of but the breeze between your knees! Went to P.C. today to make the Bikers for Kids Parade. Ok, we didn't make the parade but we did meet with a few of our brothers on two wheels from the Red Knights Chapter and other local M.C's. Had a great time at the meet and greet! we'd like to thank our fellow riders to the south for an appreciative time at the clubhouse! Looking forward to doing it again!
 12/05/09 A lot of kudos goes out to the Club for making this happen! We braved the cold to make our first appearance in the Marianna Christmas Parade this year! And boy was it ever! After the parade was over a lot of people couldn't tell you much about the parade but they did remember the motorcycles! Long live the Iron Horse! 
11/21/09 The reports are in! The turnout was good. Unfortunately the weather was not as accommodating. The threat of rain was a bit too much for some of the antique cars to make the trip. We'd like to thank those that did brave the weather and was rewarded without a day of rain. There were many people who enjoyed the events as we struggled to make adjustments. The recipients all had a blast, especially Brandi who swears she is buying a set of chaps and leather jacket. We didn't make the quota we had hope to achieve but smiles were had by all. It is still considered a success. Next time......
11/14/09 Well kudos goes out to our lone rider to the Tally event for the Viet Nam Vets and Patriot Guard Riders 2nd Annual Salute to Veterans . Our very own Bullet braved the masses and the traffic to make it on time and boy howdy did she! We met up with her at the end of the ride and escorted our pride and joy home! Her conviction is awe inspiring! Thanks Bullet! Also on the scene was our sister Sta. 8 from Tallahassee! Who said they don't like to ride? 
10/24/09 Children are our future! Thia Perez was just in a bad spot at the right time. After having multiple surgeries from his injury this strong young man was able to make this ride. 5 yrs old and having been kicked in the face by a horse, seemed to have no ill effects and was having a blast! Even after the event he was bound and determined to ride the motorcycles! such a strong fellow!
 10/12/09 Now this thing, the Ten Year Burn, just couldn't be missed! The opportunity to meet other Fire and Iron members, new people, new bikes to see, was worth all the time it took to get there! A large thanks goes to all the stations involved in the prep for this huge gathering! Being able to meet the National Officers and all else was grand! They are doing such a great job! Fun , fun, and more was had by all! Food, drinks, parties, and the pool! Yes Sir, Let's do it again in Boston!
9/11/09 Veterans are Firefighters Heroes! Need anything else be said? 7 of us braved the early morning I-10 ride to Tallahassee for the 9/11 Memorial event at the state Capital.  The event was partially put on by our sister Sta 8. Kudos to the Pres for all his effort and making us feel at home there!
8/26/09 Mike "Sunrunner" Blum, President Station 202 and Jim "Sharkey" Pruitt, President Station 77 have 100% agreement from both Stations' members to have St. 202 absorb St. 77 entirely. Sunrunner is providing the St. 77 members with their new 202 rockers. Although this reduces the number of Florida Stations, it adds strength in numbers to the newly organized Station 202. This absorbing was due to St. 77's limited ability for recruitment of new members and their close proximity of Calhoun and Jackson Counties.
8/22/09 on Aug 22nd, we had a very successful poker run for Sharon Casey of Malone. Sharon had been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. 37 fellow bikers and friends joined together and rode well into the afternoon and ended the ride at Half Shells Oyster Bar in Marianna. We managed to surpass our goal for her and allow her family to make her wish come true! thanks for everyone's effort and support!
7/18/09 Riding for a cause. Dusty Rhodes Poker Run in PC! great day for a ride. Had a bit of rain there on the ride but most of the day was awesome. Nothing like a reason to ride for!
6/20/09 Now it was time to meet our brothers at our sister stations. We made the trek to Destin and had a Meet and Greet at Hogs Breath Saloon. Food was great, company was awesome, and the weather was HOT! Thanks to F&I 36 and 55 for making this a memorable time. After the main event we took a ride and finished the day off at the Outpost and had a swell time with good music!
5/17/09 As our second official ride, members rode to ST. Augustine for the Riding into History event with Dennis Gage from ESPN's SpeedChannel. The event was unbelievable and so was the ride home. Rain was the event for the ride home. Best time we'd had in a long time!
4/29/09 For our first run, we had several riders show their support for our troops and helped to escort the Viet Nam Wall to Appalachicola to the Three Soldiers Memorial Park.
