Dover Escort Ride for Northern VA
This is not a Patriot Guard mission but I imagine some will be there. Bottom line is a local MC put the word out to all in the area who are able and willing to escort the body of SSgt David Stewart home to Stafford Co, VA. The trip from Dover AFB to there will be roughly 140 miles but they are asking for bikes that can take up to 200 miles (due to traffic mainly). There will be a police escort.
Details:
ALCON: Here's the latest info on the escort. We will be rallying up at the I-95 Rest Area, mile marker 155 Northbound (Prince William County, VA) @0700 Friday 6/27 and heading to Dover, DE. We will stage outside of the base (exact location TBD) and the escort of Staff Sergeant Stewart will begin at approximately 12:00 PM heading back south. We will publish the staging area outside of Dover AFB as soon as we have it for those who want to meet there. This will be a law enforcement escorted ride and therefore you must be at the beginning point in Dover and stay with the ride until its conclusion in Stafford. Due to safety concerns for all riders and especially the LEO's conducting the escort, dropping off or jumping in along the route will not be allowed due to the additional risk associated. This escort is for motorcycles only, no cages please. This is the best info we have at this point so please understand, this is subject to change. We will post any changes/updates as we receive them. All are welcome as long as you can make the entire ride.

I suggest one of two staging areas. First is the FOP lodge, Kitts Hummock Rd, just South of DAFB. The parking lot will easily handle 125 bikes. It is well know to local police, (obviously), and is about 2 miles to the main gate.
The second are would be the motel just outside the North Gate entrance to the base.
I do think the lodge would be the better choice because of it being out of the way and away from traffic and other issues.
