Motorcycle Volunteer Opportunities for 2021

Greetings!

I hope you've been keeping well :)

I've started to receive word about in-person charity cycling events for 2021. Here is what we know so far:

Spin for Kids 2021: Rutledge, GA : October 3rd

Bike MS Atlanta Peachride 2021 : LaGrange, GA : October 9th & 10th

Bike MS Bay to Bay 2021 : Carlsbad, CA : October 16th & 17th

VeloCity 2022 : Fairburn, GA : May 7th, 2022

Indeed, Bike MS has a bunch of in-person events for 2021 across the USA. See their Find Your Ride page for more details.

I will send out more details via the mailing list as we get closer to these events. Please let me know of any other events you're aware of that could use motorcycle support and I'll get the word out :)

Motorcycling Amateur Radio Club (update)

If you are a new subscriber, Welcome! And thank you to everyone else for remaining a subscriber :-) Since becoming a member, I've been coordinating with the Motorcycling Amateur Radio Club to get the word out for volunteer opportunities for motorcycle riders. The club members have been very warm in accepting me as a remote member (they're based in SoCal, but have members scattered around the U.S.A.). And I've discovered a wealth of new information about different approaches to operating amateur radio while riding. Having an amateur radio license isn't necessary for volunteering-on-two-wheels, but I found that it added an extra dimension to my last outing as a motorcycle marshal for Bike MS Atlanta Peach Ride .

Spin for Kids 2020

Four of us from Team Moto joined the Motorcycle Marshal team for Spin for Kids 2020 over the weekend. It was a beautiful day to be out riding and serving our community. The event was really well organized, masks were mandatory and all volunteers & riders had to pass a temperature check. The start times for each of the six routes were staged throughout the morning. And each route had a 30 minute rolling start. This kept the concentration of riders low at base camp and on the course. I had the privilege of joining Net Control as "Rover 3" and was able to periodically relay updates for the 15 mile route. I still think operating a HAM Radio while riding a motorcycle is pretty cool :-D This year I had my antenna mounted to a sport rack and it worked out really well. Next upgrade will be a 25watt radio. More Power Baby! Looking forward to next years event and supporting a wonderful cause. Here is a link to more information about Spin For Kids. https://www.camptwinl
