That's another Spin for Kids event in the bag!
The event attracted approximately 500 cyclists, who raised just over $500,000 in sponsorship for Camp Twin Lakes. As usual the event was well planned, organized and executed. Here is a link to more information about Spin For Kids and the work done at Camp Twin Lakes: https://www.camptwinlakes.org
This year I signed up for the 100 mile route along with Ken, Mike & Lee (Ken & Mike are Bike MS Alumni - Go Team Moto!) and we had a fun day assisting cyclists and sweeping the route to make sure all cyclists were accounted for. And it was great to catch up with LadyEJ and TopDog and their crews (A big shout out to the Black Angels Motorcycle Club, Faith Riders, Get2Gether Bikers, ATL Cruisers and the Christian Motorcycle Association)
For the VeloCity 2021 event I had upgraded to a mobile radio with more power. For this event I upgraded my ride to a 2018 Honda Goldwing Tour, which is an absolute joy to ride and perfect for supporting cycling events. I installed the Yaesu FTM-400XDR the day before the event, with a temporary solution for the antenna, and I had no issues hitting the repeater from any part of the course.
As the first HAM Capable Motorcycle to check-in I received the honor of the tactical call-sign "Rover 1". Nice!
Next event is Bike MS Atlanta Peachride in La Grange, Georgia. Hope to see you there!
Stay Safe,
