My good friend Tom Brunette rode the RFTW southern CA cross country ride to DC this month (10 days) and on Sunday 05/30/2010 – the RFTW group (2000+ bikes) joined forces with the Rolling Thunder parade group in DC for the 300,000+ bike procession from the Pentagon parking area to The Vietnam Memorial Wall location.

On relatively short ride – Tucson to Wilcox – I met a number of BK members in the RFTW group that were making the ride all the way to DC. I WAS THE ONLY AZ BK IX participant.
This RFTW ride takes place EVERY MAY of EVERY YEAR…and this is the 22nd year they have riden through AZ and through Tucson.
This ride event is EXTREMELY WELL ORGANIZED (a year in advance each year) – and they can use more volunteer help – especially from a group like ours! Ride For The Wall
If BK groups in other states can be involved with RFTW – we certainly can as well…NEXT MAY 2011. Perhaps combining our efforts and participation with the PHX area BK CHAPTERS; like providing escort from the PHX area to TUC and beyond. Also, helping as needed with traffic control – with the RFTW Road Guards and local law enforcement. WHATEVER!!
Take a good look at their web-site and history (link above).
