Spin For Kids 2020

The volunteer sign-up page for Spin-For-Kids 2020 is now open!

The ride will start and end at Camp Twin Lakes Rutledge in Rutledge, GA.  There are five routes to cover and the organizers are looking for up to six Motorcycle Marshals per route.  As you can see from the list below, all cyclists will cross the finish line around the same time, for a big party at the finish line.
  • 100 miles, 8am to 4pm
  • 62 miles, 9am to 4pm
  • 47 miles, 10am to 4pm
  • 27 miles, 10:30am to 4pm
  • 15 miles, 11am to 4pm

Here are some words from Ashley Henderson, the volunteer coordinator.

"Spin For Kids Motorcycle Marshals keep riders safe by leading each group, following behind the last riders, and patrolling the route for any injuries or rider needs. We need your help to make Spin For Kids a safe, fun day for everyone! We will provide $10 gas cards, lunch, and t-shirts to all riders. I hope that you will consider joining us on October 4th, 2020!"

Amateur Radio support will be provided by Morgan County ARES.

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:
