Spring has sprung, the flowers are starting to bloom, leaves are
returning to the trees, the rains (and snow) are tapering off and the
Charity Ride Events are starting up. Up here in the California Bay Area
our first event of the year is the MS Top Hat Classic. This is a 4 route,
10/25/50/75 mile, event that allows us to spend the day riding
through charming East Bay communities (all routes), over the beautiful
foothills of Mount Diablo (25-mile route), under the tall redwood trees
of the San Leandro Hills (50- and 75-mile routes), and past sweeping
views of Briones Regional Park (75-mile route).
Last year we had a fantastic day that had over 1,800 bicycle riders
joining together to help raise funds for this charity, however no charity
event is ever complete or successful without the volunteers.
We need your help. Currently we only have 4 definite motorcycle
HAM volunteers and 2 maybes. We need more. Last year we had 11 volunteers
on Motors (see the group photo below from last year) and I would like
to see us get at-least that many this year.
We know that times are difficult this year. More
people are out of work, money is tighter then ever and the war and risk
of terrorist’s attacks do not make our day-to-day lives easy. If you
are able to come and help us with this event it would be great. You
not only get to spend the day riding in the sun and beautiful sites
but you will also be able to help a worthy charity.

I can also assists in making
