Battle Of Monmouth, 2009

This June 27, 2009 we rode to Monmouth, N.J. to see a reenactment of the battle of Monmouth.

The Battle of Monmouth was fought on June 28, 1778. The Continental Army commanded by George Washington attacked the rear of the British Army commanded by Henry Clinton as they left Monmouth Court House. After a lengthy battle Washington drove the British from the field. The battle showed that the continental arm was becoming more effective after 6 months of constant training at valley Forge. This was a very important battle in the American Revolution.

After the battle I gave an interview to the N.J. Star ledger. See a video about the reenactment and my interview on the battle of Monmouth at this link; http://videos.nj.com/star-ledger/2009/06/thousands_attend_reenactment_a.html

Mishap

Well you may have noticed that I haven’t blogged much about riding this summer. I meant to, believe me. I had planned “The Ride 2009.” But I had a little mishap with the bike in July and it took Harley 9 weeks to get it back to me. To be honest it is still not 100% complete. (Not to mention it was one of the worst riding season in recent memory weather wise with the rain and all).

I was, however, able to get a couple interesting rides in so I will be posting them over the next week or so. I have another SCUBA trip coming up soon. We’ll be diving on a new ship wreck. I will get some pictures and perhaps another video up from that. Also my band “The Ride” will be playing some acoustic shows starting next month. Check here for dates and locations as well as bloggs from the shows.

There will be plenty to share with you until next riding season so keep checking in and thanks for visiting.
