Rotary fishing derby and bikers buns

In the morning I went a fishing derby for handicapped children sponsored by Rotary. It was held at a well stocked pond operated by the Tewksbury Rod and Gun club. The day was hot and muggy but filled with enthusiasm. The grandson of a friend caught 6 rainbow trout. Fortunately people from the club would clean the fish. My job was to untangle line either from a child's fishing pole of from two or three that had cast to the same spot and gotten tangled. A free lunch was served and a gift bag given to each child.
In the afternoon my wife returned from the Cross State Weekend trail ride. This is an annual event that this year was held at Bradley Palmer park near the shore. A 200+ person bike ride was also taking place on the same weekend. For the most part the two groups were kept apart as many horses have a thing about a herd of bicycles. One morning the bike racers went through the area where the horse riders were camped. Some of the women gave the buns of the men a 1 - 10 rating as they cycled by in their skin tight outfits.
