Save the Date! Spin for Kids 2020

Spin for Kids is a single day charity cycle ride that will be held on Sunday, October 4th, 2020.

Spin For Kids is Camp Twin Lakes' annual fundraising bike ride that helps provide life-changing camp experiences for children with serious illnesses, disabilities, or other life challenges. Each October at Camp Twin Lakes Rutledge, our riders’ fundraising efforts culminate in a fun and fulfilling ride that winds through the scenic backroads of beautiful Morgan County, Georgia.

 I've connected with Ashley Henderson, the volunteer coordinator for this event.  Each year she puts out a call for motorcycle marshals.  This event has been running for 10 years!  Here is a link to the 2019 event page.

This event is supported by Morgan County ARES, who operate Net Control and the support vans.

 Ashley will send out sign-up information ahead of the event and I'll share it as soon as I receive it.

Motorcycling Amateur Radio Club

Following my first outing as "Motorcycle Mobile" at the 2019 Bike MS Atlanta Peach Ride I've been looking around for other opportunities to use my motorcycle and amateur radio license AT THE SAME TIME!

I found the Motorcycling Amateur Radio Club (M.A.R.C.) and have applied for membership.

M.A.R.C. is organized into chapters throughout the USA and is focused on supporting charity events with Motorcycle Marshals and HAM Radio Operators.

I'll provide more updates as I connect with these folks.

February 2020 Update for Georgia Motorcycle Volunteers

My son & I enjoyed the Atlanta Motorcycle Show a few weekends ago.  I particularly enjoyed the British vintage motorcycles and a very special classic Ducati.  We had some good conversations with some of the exhibitors and were able to hand out a bunch of motorcycle volunteer contact cards.

A couple of weekends ago I discovered a group of about twenty all female riders who gather at my favourite local breakfast spot once a month.  They were gracious enough to listen to my pitch and accepted a few contact cards from me.  If you were in that number, Welcome! :-D

For the Georgia crew there are some volunteer opportunities coming up that could be combined with a weekend trip:
