June 12, 2010 Tarwheels & The Ken Har Memorial- Rawhide Bike Ride
Ken Har Memorial Bike Ride
This is an annual event that starts in Cedar Grove, NC- just out of Hillsborough. The route is the route that Ken liked and rode the day before his tragic auto accident. He was a volunteer at the Durham rescue mission.
Alan Schumacher was again our fantastic ride leader and host. Alan provided colas, energy drink, and water as well as cue sheets.
Alan collected $900 in donations and matched funds to make it over $1400.
God bless you Alan!

Faucette Mill Road June 12, 2010
Let's Roll!
Let’s roll down the hill,
Right out of town on Faucette Mill.
I’m already feeling whole.
Let’s roll! Let’s heal the soul.
Let’s carve the curve at the pretty farm.
White house, red roof, and extra charm.
On the coldest day it looks so warm.
Luke Perry, Coleman Loop, Highland Farm.
Let’s gear it down and climb this knoll.
Let’s roll. Let’s lift the soul!
Go ahead with the bigger chain-ring.
The derailleur pulleys are trying to sing.
Let’s roll! Let’s fly- on the road, not the sky.
Float. Use no effort. Keep the RPMs high.
We’re warming up before we begin.
We’re just rolling out an easy ten.
Ken Har's daughter greeted the riders and started us off.

Bikeride!
Roiling, rolling, rolling
Though my butt is swollen
Keep them bike-wheels rolling
Bikeride
Rain and wind and weather
I wish my butt was leather
Wishing I was off my sore backside
All the things I'm missin'
A bathroom to do some pissin’
I can’t wait for the end of my ride
Move 'em on, head' em up
Head 'em up, move' em on
Move 'em on, head' em up
Bikeride
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Call 'em out, ride 'em in
Bikeride
Keep moving, moving, moving
Have fun and just be groovin’
Keep them bicycles moving
Bikeride
Don't try to understand 'em
Don't try to reprimand 'em!
We can't be riding side by side!
My heart calculatin'
My ticker is fibrillatin’
I’ll be dead at the end of my ride
Move 'em on, head' em up
Head 'em up, move' em on
Move 'em on, head' em up
Bikeride
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Call 'em out, ride 'em in
Bikeride
Move 'em on, head' em up
Head 'em up, move' em on
Move 'em on, head' em up
Bikeride
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Call 'em out, ride 'em in

Roiling, rolling, rolling
This pain I’m not controlin’
I don’t want consolin’
Bikeride
I think my legs are poppin’
I know I’ll soon be droppin’
Off the back of the pack I’ll slide
I hate to see my draft end.
I’m facin’ a nasty headwind
And I think I feel a stitch in my side
Roiling, rolling, rolling
The sun is hot and glowin’
I’ve got to keep a-goin’
Bikeride
My crank arms keep on turnin’
My legs keep on burnin’
Let’s roll through this pretty countryside
I’d better drink some water
It’s getting much, much hotter
I might even take some cyanide
Do him in, drop a friend
Regroup, do it again
Push the gas, drop his ass
Bikeride
Stoplight. On your right.
You’re fine. Hold your line.
Pothole. Let it roll.
Bikeride
Legs burn. Left turn.
In a funk. I smell a skunk.
Another hill. A road-kill.Bikeride
Do him in, drop a friend
Regroup, do it again
Push the gas, drop his ass
