Join us on Saturday, April 22 as we cheer on one of our Favorite Motocross Racers "Avery E.". Avery is currently in running for the championship and the last time US Spyder Ryders cheered her on, she brought home the BIG W.

After Avery's race we will head up to Ormond Beach to a favorite restaurant of our NE FL Chapter, DB Pickles.  After lunch we will swing to our south via the Space Coast before ending in Longwood at Bruster's Ice Cream for an afternoon cool down.

Weekday Volunteers Needed

We will be picking up from the neighborhoods where we dropped off the food bags and delivering them to Central Florida Powersports. Along with volunteers to help pick up the bags, we will also need a few volunteers with access to a truck or SUV that can carry the bags to Central Florida Powersports.

Specific time and location will be announced when we know the vehicles we have available. This will be a two-day process on April 18 and 19. Please comment below for April 19 and whether you have a vehicle that can help.

This is a fun day of ryding and distributing food bags. It also honors our Chapter's commitment to positive interaction within our community and doing the most good for our local charities. We will meet at 8:30am at the Kangaroo Station, 17503 W. Colonial Dr, Oakland, Fl. Depart time is 9:00am to distribute Food Drive Bags to various local neighborhoods. We will also meet up for lunch at a place to be determined with the distribution is complete. 

We really need everyone's help as we have nearly double the number of bags to distribute on doorsteps this year than we had last year. Join in and comment below that you will participate.
