October 23, 2008 was the date the
foundation permit came in for the city nod to start the work
and for the ground to be prepared. The pavement was stripped and removed
the same day.
October 26, 2008 the after the monthly HOG
Breakfast Meeting, a bunch of members came to
the site for the ceremonial Biker Style ground breaking. Instead of a
shovel we followed the H-D Museum
method of using a bike to break the first ground. Guy volunteered and
Mike, Art & Darren followed.
