CHAMPIONS BANQUET & AWARDS

A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to our Tuscaloosa   Buffalo Rock/Pepsi Distribution Center for hosting our  Ride Directors Meeting at which all 13 of this year's events were represented!

As our meeting came to an end, 2015 CHAMPIONS, Sponsors, and Support Crew began a steady arrival for introductions to Primal Wear representative, Kelly Fay, all the way in from Colorado and John Cook, Tuscaloosa Buffalo Rock Distribution Manager.

Each CHAMPION was introduced and awarded their 2015 Primal Wear CHAMPION jersey
Larry Murphy & Fred Twilley

They were the first to receive the newly designed 2016 T-shirt
