Ride 4 Rob

This event is in memoriam of my son Rob Schwind who was killed by a young woman too interested in running her errand - buying sunglasses at almost 10 PM.  She just turned left and left him no opportunity to avoid the accident.  Our mission is to work with the schools, youth organizations, media events, billboards, etc. to promote motorcycle safety awareness and the dangers of distracted driving.  Rob was the 14th rider down because of a vehicle that summer -- he died on the 4th of June 2007.  Please help to support this effort in loving memory of Telefonica Rob.

R.S.V.P.

Please let us know if you even think you will be attending the event so that we can adequately plan the picnic.

Use any of the following links to let us know, we need to guestimate the maximum numbers

Sixth Annual Ride for the ARC

Two starting points, 100 miles of highway, one destination...the Sixth Annual Ride for the ARC... July 18th 2009,” says Ken Ernenwein, President of Red Knights Motorcycle Club, NY Chapter XIX.

The Madison Cortland ARC and Red Knights Motorcycle Club, NY Chapter XIX are again hosting the Sixth Annual Ride for the ARC, a motorcycle run that benefits the Building Futures Foundation for Madison Cortland ARC.

This years ride is truly a crazy bowtie. There will be two routes of the ride to choose from; one starting at Stupid Choppers on Route 11 in Homer and traveling through Cortland County and the Finger Lakes Region; and another that will start at Denny’s Restaurant in Glenwood Plaza, Oneida, travel through Madison County and scenic Cherry Valley region.

The two routes will end at Centro’s Hotel on Route 13 in DeRuyter for lunch, entertainment and raffles.

Same-day Registration for the all-wheel Ride for the ARC begins at 8 a.m. Registration fee is $20 per rider and $15 per passenger. If you pre-register by July 10, you can get a $5 discount off your registration fee.

All vehicles will take off shortly after 10 a.m. The Ride for the ARC is a rain or shine event.

 “What makes the event fun is while it’s billed as a motorcycle run, it’s really an ‘all wheel’ ride. That means anything legal with wheels. It can be bicycles, cars, vans, horse & buggy, and of course motorcycles!” said Christine Sears, Director of Development and Public Relations at Madison Cortland ARC.

The Red Knights Chapter is also looking for sponsors and donations of merchandise or gift certificates to be used as prizes following the ride. All donations received will be acknowledged. For more information on donations, or to pre-register for the ride, call 315-363-3389 ext. 225, or email: Rideforthearc@aol.com
