IMPORTANT RIDE INFORMATION

Attention! Ride Rule Changes for 2006 and all
following years.
Last year several riders
showed complete disregard for the safety of everyone
by pulling out from the side of the road and forcing
their way into the ride. This caused accidents with
riders going down. This happened at several
locations, and we were very lucky that someone
wasn't hurt very seriously. This kind of behavior
by a few riders forces us to make stricter rules for
everyone.
Starting this year
(2006), we can no longer invite you to join the ride
any where along the route. You MUST
start the ride in Chattanooga, TN or in another
safe location along the route or after a gas stop.
I will be having ride
meetings with all police at the problem areas and
ask them to issue tickets for failure to yield and
reckless endangerment. I would appreciate
everyone's support on this issue. It will make a
better and safer ride for all participants. We must
do everything on our part to insure a safe ride for
everyone.
Thanks for your
cooperation,
Bill Cason
Ride Leader & Originator

You will NOT
