September 6, 2008 at 9am we will be leaving Navy Pier in Chicago
If you are one of the people that really wanted to be a part of the Ride for the Relay Trip this year but just couldn't for one reason or another, well now is the time to start planning. Even if you rode in 2007 and are going again in 2008, let me know. Maybe you can only ride a short ways, that is okay, let me know. Perhaps you don't have a motorcycle and want to drive your car/truck/van, that is okay, just let me know.
Click on this web site www.hamstra.blogspot.com to see what Steve & Melinda Hamstra are doing. I commend them for what they do.
As of September 5, 2008 we have a total of 52 motorcycles and 71 riders ready to make a difference.
