Get Ready For The Rumble Of Rolling Thunder Annual Ride

Reblogger Emmary Simpson
Real Estate Agent with Las Cruces Homes and Land

I lived in Northern Virginia from 1999 to 2004. During that time, I had the honor of attending the Rolling Thunder event. I can't properly describe in words what the sound is like when you hear those bikes starting to roll across the bridge. All I can say is that, to this day, I still get a chill down my spine. 

If you're in Washington DC - or in the area - please make plans to get to DC and experience this for yourself. As Cindy says, get there early.

Not everyone is packing up the car and heading to the beach this weekend.If you are staying in the DC area then the biggest event is the annual Rolling Thunder Rally.

The rally started in 1987 with 2500 motorcycles riding through the streets of DC. Over the years the rally grew and now close to 250,000 motorcycles participate in the ride.Today the reason for the event is still as important as it was when it first started. Remembering there are those who are still unaccounted for from previous wars and those who still sacrifice to keep us free.

If you live in Prince William County and you can head to East Coast Harley Davidson in Dumfries for their annual Rolling Thunder open house May 24-26, 2013,  The open house provides a chance for you to help raise funds for Disabled Veterans.  There are bands, food and plenty of fun.  

On Sunday Prince William County riders will leave Dumfries and head to DC to join the rest of the participants who leave from the  Pentagon
travel across the Memorial Bridge and in the shadow of Arlington Cemetery, down Constitution Ave towards the US Capitol and then loops to an end at the Lincoln Memorial.

The event brings tears to not only the eyes of the veteran’s who ride but to those who watch.Make sure you get there early for you place along the route.
