Hope you can make it! We had guys come from both Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, and one guy came from Boston (60 years young) to ride with his son...It was truely a spiritual ride...

I go on an annual cancer fund raising ride with 750-1000 bikes, and yes, its a real special feeling with all those bikes in front and back, with the police escorts, and people waving and honking with their support and gratitude. And of course, it always feels special doing something for a great cause.
