It was lovely weekend for a motorcycle ride around LaGrange, Georgia.
There were no serious incidents, all 280 cyclists were accounted for and ~$300,000 was raised for the MS Society!
On Saturday, we covered four routes with five motorcycle escorts:
James (KN4VZE) & Ken supported the 100 mile route.
Sam (KD4SHK) covered the 66 mile route.
Jeff supported the 35 mile route and Cathie covered the 21 mile route.
Sam (KD4SHK) covered the 66 mile route.
Jeff supported the 35 mile route and Cathie covered the 21 mile route.
On Sunday, we covered two routes with six motorcycle escorts:
Electra, Sebastian, Rondell supported the 65 mile route, while Jeff & Cathie covered the 31 mile route.
Sam (KD4SHK) as a HAM capable motorcycle escort roamed both routes while staying in touch with Net Control.
There was some drama. On Saturday, my battery died just as Ken & I were escorting the last three century cyclists into town. Both Jeff & Ken stayed with me through the evening & into the night and helped me to prepare the bike for a ride home with AAA. And for this I am extremely grateful.
Sam has a cool "Event Escort" windshield banner and he shared the website from which he ordered it with the team.
Many thanks to all the motorcycle escorts who supported this event. Some of you supported events two weekends in a row and some of you signed up last minute to help fill the gaps. I very much appreciate that you gave your time to make this event a success!
Go Team Moto!
