Motorcycle Safety and Awareness
Welcome to think bike, the podcast about all things motorcycle and the voice of motorcycle safety and awareness in Alberta. Your host is Liane Langlois.
Diane:Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of think bike. I'm super excited to have Nelson Santos on today from the Ride for Dad, not just Edmonton, but also sits with the national, board for Ride for Dad. We're gonna learn a little bit more about that in a second, but welcome to the show, Nelson.
Nelson:Thank you for having me, Liane. I'm super excited to be on this podcast with you and talk a little bit more about Ride four Dad and who we are and what we do.
Diane:Well, let's start with you. Who is Nelson and what got you into riding?
Nelson:You know, I've lived my life, my entire life here in Edmonton, I'm going to be, been part of the ride for dad for fifteen years. What got me into riding? You know, motorcycles are such a fun thing to ride around on and you see them and everybody talks about it. Growing up, I always wanted to have a motorcycle, but parents thought that was the worst thing that a person could have. So when I was able enough to buy a motorcycle, I decided to get one and haven't looked back and people ask me why ride a motorcycle?
Nelson:Makes it different? And I said, you see the world in a different light. To me, riding around, I don't like riding in the city, I like going around into the countrysides. There's a lot of people that have never made it into the countrysides. Alberta and Canada has amazing beautiful roads and little towns that are just so cool to go and see.
Nelson:And for me, riding is, I always call it wind therapy. You can have the world's worst day. You get on your motorcycle and you go for a, you know, a little ripper to a small hamlet and, you know, you it just washes away all the the the negativity of the world for that day and you just love it. And for me, riding in the fall by far is the best because you get all the smells from the different crops and everything. The leaves are changing.
Nelson:It's just an amazing, amazing time on a bike.
Diane:Yeah, I fully agree with all of that. Okay, so specifically though, where are some of your most favorite places that you've ridden?
Nelson:You know, been around like a little, just all these different little towns, being involved with Ride for Dad, like being born and raised in Edmonton, being a city slicker I call myself, I was able to get out and go to small towns like Tollfield, Andrew, know, Smoky Lake, which is not a small town, you know, the village of Pigeon Lake, those towns are just so much fun to get to when you take the back roads to them. You know, I've been fortunate enough to go to The United States a couple of times. I was I I went to Sturgis twice. I did the seventy third and seventy fifth anniversaries down in Sturgis. Going to Mount Rushmore on my bike was probably one of the coolest things I've ever done.
Nelson:And then a few years ago, we did, a group of us went on a guy's trip for a week and we did Highway To The Sun and and Lolo's Pass. And I think those two by far are my favorite. Like Lolo's Pass, I always tell people, you know, we're always looking for windy roads on a motorcycle. And unfortunately, in in Alberta, you know, you go straight for about 10 miles and hang a right or a left and go straight again. Where, going into Lolo's Pass, you know, you've got a street sign on the side saying, Warning, the next 99 miles S Corners.
Nelson:And it's just amazing. You just get into the routine of driving in and out of corners and it's just, you're, it's almost surreal. It's not, you don't even feel like you're riding a bike and it's just beautiful, beautiful.
Diane:Yeah. Lolo, I will agree when I'm down in Missoula, because it kicks out of there. Like we we go for breakfast in Idaho, you know, because it's just, that's just what you do. And yeah, we're on Lolo Sunday morning breakfast ride. That 99 miles sign, it just got replaced in the last one of them just got replaced in the last couple of years and the original is at my friend's house in Missoula, which is pretty awesome.
Nelson:That's super cool.
Diane:I know. Right? Because it's such a great sign. And everybody stops there for the next 99 miles, and it is such a stellar road. Yeah.
Diane:No, I agree with you on all that. Fifteen years with Ride for Dad? Like, don't think I knew that. So what got you involved with them in the first place?
Nelson:You know, a firm believer that things happen in this world for a reason. And shortly after I got my motorcycle, I was new to the motorcycle community, didn't know really any about any rides, any fundraisers, anything like that, and I had a she she she was part of the Ride for Dad committee and I worked in a collision industry and she unfortunately had an accident and we met by accident, if you want to say it that way. And, you know, we started talking and she's like, you know, oh, we got a motorcycle, why don't you come and do the motorcycle Ride for Dad? They raised money for prostate cancer. And I'm like, yeah, this is great, like this is something that I want to get myself involved to and go and help fundraise.
Nelson:You know, fortunate and unfortunately, that same year, my father-in-law got diagnosed with early stages of prostate cancer. And so it was kind of like a blessing in disguise for, you know, where I got to do the ride, I rode for him, raised some money and I did it two years in a row. Then after I my customer who became my friend, she's like, I think you should join our committee. I think you'd have a lot of fun. You've got the right attitude and we're always looking for new blood to come in and just freshen it up.
Nelson:So I joined the Ride for Dad the year following and I was a director for a couple of years or a year, and then I became road captain and the co chair at the time, she was retiring and moving out to Victoria, BC. She saw the passion that myself and Terri Wallisco, who's my co chair here in Edmonton, the drive that we had and everything we were doing, she's like, Hey, let's sit down for a coffee. And she pretty much passed the baton on to Terri and myself, and this will be my tenth year as the co chair here in Edmonton. And it's been just an absolute blast, you know, getting to meet all the riderships. It's so much fun, getting to go to some of these towns and having, you know, sitting in on city council and talking to them about, you know, what the Ride for Dad does, who we are, and then year after year seeing the same faces and some of the new faces come down and then building amazing relationships with a lot of the doctors that we donate our money to at the end of the ride.
Nelson:They start out as doctors and friends, now they're actually friends. We talk on a regular basis, they come out to our events and the cool thing is that the riders, it's becoming like a big family. Everybody recognizes them, will go up and have a chalk with them, whether it's professional or, hey, how's the family doing type of thing. And that's the cool thing. And then you get to meet people like yourself and other riding groups that do such wonderful things in the city of Edmonton.
Nelson:And I think that's the big thing for me is, you know, why I've stuck around with the Ride four Dad for so many years is because the, you know, over the years I've seen the rider, the riding community really grow. When we first, when I first got involved, there wasn't very many rides, there wasn't very many organizations that were doing rides and raising money for whatever cause, and since then, you know, fifteen years later, here we are, and there's a lot of different rides that do amazing work in the community, the money stays in the community, they meet on a regular basis at different places within and support each other. The cool thing is, is that everybody supports each other at their own functions, which is super awesome. So yeah, I can't believe it's been fifteen years that I went to my very first Ride four Dad.
Diane:That's insane. But I mean, is a story. I know a few people have been not as heavily involved as you have been with the Ride four Dad, but that is their ride that they do every year. And whether that is because, well, because they're men and want to have that, you know, research for prostate cancer out there or not, or they have that, one degree of separation from Cancer's a big thing out there regardless of what kind it is and it touches everybody's lives.
Nelson:It is. And then that's the unfortunate realistic stat that's out there is depending on where in the country you are, here in Alberta, it's one in seven, one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and some other parts of the country, it could be one in nine, one in six, and that's what they're trying to determine, it's like, why is it different in certain ethnicities? Why is it different in certain parts of the country and all that, right? That's where you develop the relationship with the researchers and you can have conversations with them and they can explain it to you in layman's terms so that you understand it, right? And this week we're planning our ride and they're going to be there in full flight talking to the riders and it's pretty cool because after we do a kind of a debrief and I always say to them, hey, I appreciate you guys coming to the ride and and everything and and, you know, I'm like, how did you know, how was it for you?
Nelson:Like and they're like they still get goosebumps. They still cry. It's very emotional when you see, like, anywhere from three to 500 riders coming together for a cause. And not just the ride for dad, I know there's other rides out there, but it really certainly hits home. And for them, they'll come up to us and they'll be like, I had a wife come up to me of one of your riders that she just had some questions because her husband just got diagnosed or is going through it and wanting to know a little bit more information on what can they do to support their husbands, their uncles, their dads, their brothers, whatever in trying to be able to find a cure of some sort anything like that.
Nelson:Then that's the, I guess that's what really hits home for me is, yeah, there's a lot of struggles and lots of heartaches putting on at a major event, right?
Diane:A lot
Nelson:of stuff where some days you're like ready to throw in the hat, but then you go to a bike show where you hold asylum auction or you're at another event and someone recognizes you and pulls you aside and says, you're the reason I'm here because you know, that hits home. Then when you get to the ride, and for me, the first leg of the ride, for as long as I've been doing it, as soon as we leave, you know, Blackjacks in the morning and we are heading to our first, we always ride in formation. So we leave in formation of bikes. So there's, picture that, 500 bikes, all in formation going down the road for one cause for prostate cancer research and awareness. And for me, when we take that first corner, whether it's left or right, and I'm able to turn around for a brief minute and have a look at all the headlights behind me shining, I'd be lying to you if I didn't say that.
Nelson:I've shed a few tears and had goosebumps running through my whole body because it's so powerful, right, to see that kind of stuff happen.
Diane:Yeah, I got chills just you talking about that because you know, I haven't seen I I think the last bat on me, last ride for dad event that I went out to was launched from the base. Yes. And it was like a slow parade for the first, know, leaving the base into, I believe St. Albert. And I just it's just it's a lot for me to be around like that, but it is very moving to see that much going on at one time.
Diane:But before we get into like this year's ride that's coming up right away, there's other things that you guys do throughout the year. I think you had our producer, Brynn Griffiths at one of your events. What was that one? Because that's not nothing to do with motorcycles.
Nelson:No. You know, and and so what what what we do here at Edmonton in our chapters across the country is how do we get our message across to more people, right? Yes, the motorcycle community is a big community, but really in the grand scheme of things, it's very small. And unfortunately, the motorcycle community can be painted with a very nice brush or a very ugly brush, depending on what side of the fence you land on. So we've always, here in Edmonton, put on a silent auction and then we also, we've been kind of tossing the idea of doing something a little bit different just to get our message across to a different demographic of people, you know, people that don't come to our events and probably never have heard of us, and so, in November, we actually put on a curl for dad this year.
Nelson:And so we partnered up with, Heather Nedwin, which she's a world class curler and coach, and she is managing a curling rink in Sherwood Park, so we decided to have a go at this and we had never done anything like this and, you know, and I gotta be very honest, Heather, you know, she was the quarterback for all of us on this, and, we we got 16 teams. We had three games. You know, first game was traditional. Second game was, it was like a dice game, and then the third one was kind of like a disco style one. And then we we had a we had a a great dinner and a great band play.
Nelson:Unfortunately, fortunately unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, that was the night that the Blue Jays were in game seven of the World Series. So, yes. And Brynn was, was our MC for the evening, and he did a fabulous job talking between innings, talking between comp commercials, and, it was just a riot. And the cool thing is is that we had a 150 people that had never heard of us. There was not one single person that had been to our silent auction, that had been to our a bike show, had been to bike nights or even our ride.
Nelson:And and that was a home run for us to stay with the baseball theme. That was a major home run for us because we were able to get our message across to to a bunch of people that, you know, their eyes were wide open. And the cool thing is, is that we did bring one of the doctors in, and he had a really quick talk about what the Ride4Dad has done for him here in Edmonton in regards to the monies that he's received for us. What's some of the research that they're working on right now? And give that hope to a family that their father or uncle or someone is going through.
Nelson:And sure enough, like we were, you know, we had finalized the whole last of the evening and there's people coming up to us, Hey, we want to get involved. How do I talk to the doctor? What can we do? What can we support? I've got a friend, my neighbour, things of that nature.
Nelson:So, because it was such a great success, I'm not sure if Brynn knows this, but we are going to ask him to come back this year coming up and emcee it, and we're really looking forward to having our second annual curl for dad. It was just a a remarkable event where we had so much fun.
Diane:Well, knowing Brynn the way that I do, I'm pretty sure you can almost guarantee on him being there. He has his own his own journey through the cancer realm that most people are aware of and you know, big supporter and has good friends that he's lost to prostate cancer recently and stuff like that. Who've spent a spokesperson for you guys as well. You also do pictures with Santa. Like you guys are just you you find all the creative ways, but this whole like one out of seven, one out of eight, it's not one out of seven, one out of eight guys that ride motorcycles that get prostate cancer.
Diane:It's just men in general and to be creative, with, as you alluded to how many more charity rides are out there and and let's face it, it's great. Yes, we do all support each other, but people are getting stretched thin in our own community in what we can afford to support. Like I can't afford to support all the rides, but I do my best to support the ones that I can, that I have a personal tie to. And so entering in like the curl for dad and maybe we can come up with some more fun things and just keep you even busier with this. Just keep reaching more people in the community will be amazing.
Diane:This year's Ride, June 13, next like
Nelson:ten Correct, days from yeah, we're just coming up to it. We've got everything locked and loaded, ready to go. So we're riding through this year, and actually, this is actually a big year for Ride4Dad and our partner Blackjacks. It's our tenth year running out of Blackjacks. As you mentioned earlier, we did ride out of the base and the last year that we were at the base, we were approached by whoever runs the base, if it's somebody there said, you know, we love to support you guys as you, you know, but unfortunately, we can't be opening up the base to have motorcycles coming through, especially if there's training or things of that nature, we have to respect that.
Nelson:We want to make sure it's great for everybody, and so we we moved it to Blackjacks, and this is our tenth anniversary running out of Blackjacks. So we're we always try to find every year, we try to freshen up the ride. We started at in in we're starting at Blackjacks. We ride we're going out to the to the hamlet or town of Riley, then we're going to Daysland, and then we're going to Camrose. So it's a it's about 280 280 kilometer route round ride.
Nelson:It is a poker run, so we try to make it fun that way. You take you get a first card in the morning and get a card at every other stop, and then you could come back for the for the closing ceremonies. We do give an option of buying cards if you're working that royal flush, which a few years back, we had three of them. So it is possible, you know, and it and it just makes it a fun day. Right?
Nelson:It's not it's we start at 10:00. We try to have it like, all it done wrapped up by 03:30 so that people can still get home and enjoy the evening with their family because that's important to us. Let's face it, there are a lot of men that come to our rides and it's like, honey, I'm going out for a ride for the day. And you can just see the wife rolling her eyes again saying, oh my god, another one? So that's why we try to make it we try to we try to really watch the time and get everybody home for a reasonable day, so they have an evening still to do things, whatever they need to do.
Nelson:So it's a lot of fun. Breakfast in the morning, we have, our second stop is typically our lunch stop, which is normally a cash donation, cash or a cash donation, we're still working out the details on that. And we haven't really figured out what that is yet, but we got some things on the table of what we're going to have for the lunch, which typically is like a burger or something simple and fast Yeah, and And then, great door prizes. And then, you know, we as with Ride for that, any you know, you're able to register for the ride, any donation over $20, you get a tax receipt. It's you can set up your own web page, so it makes it super simple, where you can email all your friends so that they can go right out to the website Yeah, to do exactly, right?
Nelson:And yeah, it's a lot of fun and you know, it is weather dependent. It's, you know, there could be really unfortunate weather and we still ride, or it could be amazing weather and we still ride, you know, it's, we're not there for the weather, we're not there for the ride, we're there for the cause. That's what we try to tell people.
Diane:So is it like kickstands up at ten or breakfast is at ten?
Nelson:Kickstands are up at 10:00, so we start, the site opens at 07:30 and we have breakfast from 07:30 to about 09:30. We do some opening ceremonies, we a couple of, we talk about the safeties of the roads, right, follow the sides and we're lucky that being around, this will be our nineteenth year in Edmonton riding running the ride for dads. So in doing so, you know, we we follow the the the rules of the road, and because we've we've always been a very well organized and, ask before we do something with the towns and and and the counties that the RCMP detachments are always on board for helping us out with, you know, road traffic, you know, closing down an intersection to make sure our riders get through safely. Last You year, we were we had to make a left handed turn on Highway 16, which in the motorcycle community, anybody knows, a left hand turn is always a very dangerous one. But the, you know, the the RCMP at Lake Gland County, they shut down the lanes for five minutes while all our bikes got through, everybody got through safely and they came through and the cool thing about that is at the end of it, they reach out to us and they say, thank you for being so well organized and getting your bikers all on board.
Nelson:There wasn't any stragglers, everybody came through at the very same time and it made it so nice that we didn't have to disrupt traffic too bad, which is important, right? Because we don't want to get the rest of the people like, Oh my God, these motorcycles just slowed my day down for ten minutes, and things like that. So yeah, it's pretty cool when you get the respect of law enforcement and the counties and the towns all to buy into what we do, right?
Diane:Who's your MC this year? Gord's still involved?
Nelson:Yeah, Gord Steinke, he's been around since day one. His uncle Bob, who is a prostate cancer survivor, that's how he got kind of involved with it. So even though he's he's not on air anymore, he does come and do the ride for us. So he's our honorary one of our honorary ride captains. We've also got, Todd James from K ninety seven as our other ride captain.
Nelson:We did have Rob Berg before he retired and, you know, Terry Evans, you know, he he did a couple of he did a couple of rides with us as well. And so, yeah, we got two honorary ride captains. I've been told that I've got the gift of gaff, so I guess I'm the emcee for the morning, the morning of, and the morning after.
Diane:The morning of and morning after. That's quite the party.
Nelson:Yeah. It's okay. Well, it can be. It can be. If you wanna know what the party's like, come and join us.
Nelson:June 13. But yeah. It's you know, so I I we you know, it's it's a lot of fun when we when we do the stuff. You know, we've when we do our even even, like, when we do our silent auction, we we have Nick Gulka from CFCW, well, formerly of CFCW. He's retired from there.
Nelson:It seems all the all the everyone's moving on in from our radio our radio personalities, but the cool thing is that they've been a part of us for so long that when we reach out to them, they're like, hey, yeah, absolutely, we're there. And so that's super cool. He does live auctioneering and no one can tell a baba joke like Nick Gulka, so it's a lot of fun. And yeah, it's one big family that it's grown in nineteen years here in Edmonton, and then I've been fortunate enough to be part of for fifteen years and it's a lot of fun. And the cool thing at the end of the day is the money, a 100% of the proceeds that all the riders raise stay right here in Edmonton.
Nelson:Don't go and they don't divvy it up with all the chapters and they say, okay, well, there's 28 chapters across Canada, we raised X amount of dollars, we're going to just chop it up across Canada, and everybody gets that. So we raise X amount of dollars, it stays here in the city, and then working closely with the researchers, you know, they'll allow us to do lab tours as well, which we can take somebody to go through the lab that's going through something, or they can or there's a sponsor, or there's a rider that wants to see where their money is going to help, we can physically take them and say, you know, that thousand dollars that you raised helped develop this for them to test and everything like that, right?
Diane:That's awesome. Like it's always good because there's always sometimes people who are like, well, what does my money actually go towards? So 28 chapters, there's I'm assuming 28 different rides across
Nelson:Yeah, the rides start May and go all the way into September and it depends on the area, the region, right? We've always done ours. Some people have come to us and said, you know, we've had really horrible weather for the last five years on June 13 or the June. Do you think you want to move it to August? And, you know, it's no different than when you have something like Klondike days, for example.
Nelson:Such a staple in Edmonton. Yeah. We know when it is in July, it's the July. Imagine going and saying, we're going move that to September. There's going to be people that are going be like, what the what's going on here?
Nelson:So we kind of we, you know, and and same thing with the towns, like some of the towns and the sponsors, they already know that, hey, Ride four Dad is going to be coming through our neck of the wood, possibly through our neck of the woods. So we want to be presenting our towns best, so when they come rolling through, they're we've had people, you know, for example, myself, we went through the town of Toefield, and I had never been to Toefield. And so we went through and they were opened the town to us, they were amazing people, and we decided to, you know, a month or two later, we went for it's like, hey, let's go for a ride, a few of us. It's like, where do we go? Well, we ended up in Toefield, and this Maun Pa restaurant that had the best pizza.
Nelson:Like, I've never had pizza like And, you know, and I think that's the coolest thing. I remember, you know, one of my first years as a co chair in Gord Stankey, we stopped in Mundere for lunch and we went down a road and Gord, you know, I said to Gord, I said, Hey, how are you liking it other than the weather? He's like, he goes, Nelson, I've ridden like all over North America. He says, I've never been down that road And that road was so much fun. And it was Joseph Berg's it was a Joseph Berg Road, I think it was what it was called.
Nelson:And it was like he's like just blown away. And I said I thought to myself, I said, how is that possible? But that's the cool thing about this whole, you know, putting together our ride and going to these different places and finding different ways to get there. And so like I said, Alberta, Canada and Alberta mainly, there's so many nice roads around here that people have no idea. And if they just got out and just looked at it, they'd be totally dumbfounded at how beautiful this country is.
Diane:Yeah, no, I agree. Now, if anybody wanted to find more information about the Ride for Dad, maybe like listeners around the country are wondering when their ride is, like what is the website they can go to?
Nelson:So they can go to www.ride4dad.ca and that'll take them to the main page and then from there it tells the story of how we've been around since 2000. The very first ride started in 2000 out in Ottawa and has grown to 28 chapters across the country. We've raised as a national brand over $46,000,000 donated. And here in Edmonton, we just surpassed $4,000,000 donated So, and there you can see a little bit about the story, tells a little bit about who we are, what we do, and then you can find a ride and guarantee there's going be a ride, if not in the same city, very close to you where you live. And it's and again, 100% of the proceeds stay in the community.
Nelson:Now for the these you know, some of these communities, they don't have the major labs like they do in in Edmonton and Calgary, for example, but what they do is they actually raise the money, for example, in Red Deer, and they'll actually split it between Edmonton and Calgary, so because they don't have anything in there. And that's what a lot of the other rides do is they just say, hey, my money is going to go to this lab because there isn't one here. And that's the cool part about this whole thing.
Diane:That's awesome. No, that sounds great. So last question, if anybody was going to show up ten days from now at Blackjacks, let's say around 9AM, can they still register to get on the ride?
Nelson:Absolutely. We take registrations right up until 09:45 and even 10:00. If you've got to if you've ever run a little late, we'll take the registrations because it all it all matters, right, at the end of the day. Yeah. We want everybody to come out and have a great ride, ride at your own your own experience.
Nelson:I mean, we've had people that have been riding bikes for forty, fifty years, and we've had people like me at fifteen years ago, I was a novice rider. And we've had people do them in with the really flamboyant Harley Davidsons to people who want a Vespa. Right? So we have a little bit of everything that does our ride. It's the it's pretty neat to see.
Nelson:And, yeah, we're up until kickstands up, you can register for the ride and enjoy it. If they have any questions, they can come and find myself or one of my committee members and we'll gladly be able to help answer any questions that we can do.
Diane:Perfect, thank you, Nelson. And just like the one little shameless plug in there, Ride four Dad is of course title sponsored by our platinum corporate member, James H. Brown Injury Lawyers. We're so grateful for them with us and for you guys. Can't ask for a better, more genuine law firm to be involved in our community.
Diane:Honestly, Trent's one of a
Nelson:kind
Diane:and appreciate everything that they do for us and for you guys.
Nelson:Yeah. They've certainly, they have one of the biggest hearts out there. See the big picture and they actually see what they're supporting and how big that'll help, what that does and where it goes. It definitely helps the riders recognize them a little bit more in the community, which I mean, see them everywhere, but they're amazing people and Trent and his team there are fabulous and we're really fortunate to have somebody like that in our community, just helping out not only the Ride4Dad, but a lot of all different community or community based events.
Diane:Yeah, oh, absolutely. All right, everybody. June 13 is the Edmonton edition. Look at ride4dad.ca for an edition of Ride4dad near you and good luck with the ride. And I will talk to you again soon, my friend.
Nelson:Thank you again for having us on. This is amazing and all the best to everybody. And like I say, keep it between the ditches and have some fun.
Diane:Sounds good. All right, hang tight for the mixed bag. On this week's mailbag, we're going to revisit GDL. There seems to be quite a few folks who still think that the GDL program no longer exists in Alberta. Let's be very clear so the misinformation can stop.
Diane:GDL still exists. The advanced test to remove GDL is what was removed. Second point, class seven is a learner's only. It's not part of GDL. GDL occurs when you take a road test for the first time either for your class five or class six.
Diane:And yes, you can absolutely get a class six before a five. But the very first time you test for either a five or a six, you automatically enter a GDL program. You only enter the GDL program once, not if you have a five and go for a six or vice versa. So let's run through this with a class five. You have a class seven and road test for your five.
Diane:You pass, you receive a five GDL. That remains on your record for two years. If you then get your six within those two years, you would have a five six GDL. After two years, and only if you are demerit free in the last twelve months of your GDL, it auto removes. There's no longer an advanced test to exit a GDL.
Diane:You then have a full class five six. However, if you have even one demerit on your record, your GDL remains until you have a clean twelve month period. And that's it for another episode of Think Bike hosted by me, Leanne Langlois, produced by Bryn Griffiths at Mighty Mouth Communications. If you have an idea or a question for the show, reach out to info@ab-amss.org or find us on all the socials. Always remember to ride smart, ride safe, and think bike.
Diane:We'll see you out on the road.
