Georgia Moto Ryder is hosting the first annual Hooligan Run on May 17-20, 2013. We will ride the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway from north to south. Go to our site for ride details:

http://www.georgiamotoryder.com

Click the “Hooligan Run poster at the top left of the site

We will be raffling off some sweet swag from our sponsors. You can buy raffle tickets for the Hooligan Run swag on our website (linked above). Just below the Hooligan Run poster is a drop down menu and a Paypal ‘Buy Now’ button. Raffle tickets are priced as followed:

1 ticket – $2
3 tickets – $5
10 tickets – $15
20 tickets – $25
40 tickets – $40

Select how many you want and click ‘Buy Now.’ It will route you to Paypal’s website. Please make sure your Paypal contact information is correct so we can accurately hand out the raffle tickets during the ride.

**ALL funds collected for the raffle tickets will do directly to support The Hooligan Run.**

A few things to note:
– The Blue Ridge Parkway is a desolate road. I have a list of exits with fuel stops that we will use. I’d suggest packing your own food as restaurants will not be readily available. MREs are a great idea. We are also camping multiple nights. Make sure you have the appropriate gear.
– The BRP is a big tourist attraction and I expect lots of cars in spots. The posted speed limit is 45 mph. I am not planning on this being an aggressive ride. If you want to do so and go ahead of the group just make note of the campgrounds we are using and we will meet up with you there.
– I am still lining up sponsors. They are providing swag that will be raffled off. Raffle tickets will be for sale during the ride. All money collected for the swag will go directly to the resources spent on the ride. You can also make a donation directly. Contact me if interested.
