Cabbage Patch Bar is a part of Bike Week History! I am sure it was with a heavy heart that Ronnie’s sons, Ronnie and Roger, had to decide whether to continue the history after their father’s unexpected death last year shortly after Biketoberfest 2016. They put their big boy pants on and have slipped right into their father’s “shoes”! I say that half laughing as I often had long conversations with their dad sometimes without shoes on at all!!

Time marches on and the Rock of Daytona, Daytona Estate Jewelry’s Derek Ames, Giuseppe’s Pizza, Tom and Cindy Wright, Social Misfit Customs, Barker Construction, Little C’s Custom and the Cabbage Patch marked the memory of Ronnie with the first memorial ride and formed a scholarship in Ronnie Senior’s name. Some of you bar people may not know that Ronnie was a teacher and loved knowledge… so I am certain he would be smiling down on those on two wheels who were contributing to this scholarship! The bar stops included Dirty Harry’s, Walden’s, Rudy’s and the Dog House in Port Orange.

We returned to great music by Anthony Wild and a terrific meal put on by Giuseppe’s! Put this on your radar for events to ride on next year, and don’t forget that they are open year-round with a free BBQ featuring live music on the 3rd Sunday of the month with a car/truck show and vendors.
