The American Motorcyclist Association’s national Go Ride! Month is now upon us. The official date was April 1st. Go Ride! Month will last through the end of April, and will welcome the 2014 riding season in style—contests, information, give aways, etc.
In the chance you are unfamiliar with the AMA, it is a nonprofit of a quarter of a million riders whose mission statement is "to promote the motorcycling lifestyle and protect the future of motorcycling." The AMA is also very active in supporting motorcyclist’s legal rights.
The Go Ride! campaign is a public outreach of sorts by the AMA, a way to bring cycle enthusiasts together, share ride information, tips, photos, stories, and, of course, give things away. Riders of all stripes are encouraged to post their pics to AMA’s Facebook page. Or, Tweet using #AMARideYourWay. More information can be found on their Facebook page as well.
In terms of prizes, AMA has partnered with BikeBandit.com, Avis, ColorRite, FLY Street and FLY Racing, PowerTye, Red Roof Inns and Tour Master. During its first week, to be eligible for a $50 gift certificate from one of these companies all you have to do is “like” a post or comments on a post on the AMA’s Facebook page. You must do this by 5 pm on April 4th. But don’t worry if you don’t make the cut this week, you can give it a shot the following week. And to participate in all this you do not have to be an AMA member.
You can find contest rules posted here: www.americanmotorcyclist.com/
Also, since we are on the topic of events, don’t forget about Bikes to the Beach 4th Annual Rally (Ocean City, Md.), which goes from April 24-27. The Spring rally will host everything from bull riding, bike shows, custom builders, awesome vendors, great food and lots of drink specials. See an earlier post of mine at Pete’s Cycle blog for more on this and other events.
And, of course, come stop by Pete’s Cycles at any one of our three locations--Baltimore, Bel Air, Severna Park—for all of your cycling needs.
