I would like to ask that an event I sponsor over here each year get added to your calendar. August 14th this year we are holding our 4th annual Relay for Life Hope Run. It is a Poker Run on the back roads of the Eastern Shore where you get to take in farmland, marsh, seaside and bayside waterways and wildlife scenery. Registration starts at 10:30 AM due to the distance some riders come, (northern Delaware and a few from Virginia Beach). Last bike in is normally 3:30 PM and the ride runs somewhere between 55-70 Miles depending on that year’s route. Before and during our awards and door prize announcements we have either a band or DJ, this year the establishment is providing a local southern rock band. Additionally, and this part is now our signature of the event, we have a seafood buffet with steamed shrimp, clams, scallops, and sometimes crabs along with swedish meatballs, hot wings, salads, sodas, etc. There is beer and wine served as well.
Since this is our 4th year we have asked some cancer survivors to be our servers this year. The first year we had 51 bikes show up, then 94, and last year 103. As always with these things, volunteers are always needed and we are growing some to where we can handle more riders. Last year’s event raised $64.00 shy of $3,000.00 for the cause. This year thru sponsorship of the plaques, food, T-Shirts and Ride Pins we hope to beat the elusive $3,000.00 mark.

Some hotels and campgrounds on the island always offer a discounted rate for anyone traveling far enough they would like to stay overnight.

So, here it is, ALRs, your are invited to attend and ride to have fun, see different country and raise money for a good cause. If anyone wishes to assist, they are very welcome as well.

Thank you and keep ridin’!
