KTMrad 512 Posted January 8, 2009 LINK HERE During his racing days, Broc Glover was revered as a tough competitor. Very tough. But none of his motocross training could have prepared this AMA Hall of Fame champion for the challenges he faces now as the parent of 6-year-old Dayne, a little boy with Cystic Fibrosis, the cruel life-shortening disease that many thousands of kids and adults suffer from. Fortunately, good guys like custom bike builders Jesse Rooke and many others from within the motorcycle business and racing community have agreed to join forces with Broc when he hosts a very special motorcycle ride event on March 30th to heighten awareness of CF and raise research funds for the CF Foundation.

SCHWINN 0 Posted January 29, 2009 This needed to be bumped: I ran into Broc glover and Scott cox at North County BMW motorcycles yesterday. They were having a meeting with Bob Sciracco "owner" about the upcoming ride. Im in... I saw Mad Mikes bike "mike Miralani" getting serviced for what I suspect getting ready for the Dash.

KTMrad 512 Posted January 29, 2009 Got a call from Broc Glover yesterday.......they are having a DUALSPORT RIDE on the same day as the street ride event. So, plan on going....the ride will be led by Scott Harden of KTM fame, and will have many other big names from off-road racing there. Probably Marty Tripes of San Diego, as well as others. Let's get a big turnout for this event from SDAR !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also ran into Ricky Johnson at Toyota of Escondido yesterday, Christy 20 told me to swing by there and see him. They are neighbors up in Wildomar.. I threw him a SDAR bussiness card and he asked me if we had any GPS tracks of the area and I started laughing and told him we got everything on GPS. He told me hes not very good with GPS and I told him neither am I, so I invited him to geek tech nite, if he is in town he will try to make it. Yes, Ricky Jonson is also riding in the charity event.

Crawdaddy 96 Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, Ricky Jonson is also riding in the charity event. Really nice/unassuming guy.....a bit surprising/refreshing given his tack record/fame.......spent an entire evening B.S'n with him around the bar at the Old Mill in San Quintin one evening many years ago (2002?).....hope he's able to make it to Geek Night..... I probably won't participate in the charity ride since I'm planning on riding Death Valley the weekend before.......but we'll see..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 512 Posted February 5, 2009 I got a call from Broc Glover and he gave me a little more info about this ride. The street ride will be about 100 miles, 2.5 hours. The dualsport ride will be about 40 miles, 2 to 2.5 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joliet 0 Posted February 5, 2009 How do we go about signing up for the dual sport ride? I looked at the link and it looks like it is for the street ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 410 Posted March 4, 2009 http://breatheeasyride.net/BreatheEasyRide.html UPDATES Huskyrelic Harden is leading the DS ride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joliet 0 Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks for posting the link, I am signed up. I never expected to get a chance to ride with Roger DeCoster. Come on, lets have a good showing of SDAR riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 512 Posted March 4, 2009 I went to the site and didn't find any more details....I don't get why they don't post more details about the ride, all the details are just about the event. I talked to Broc.....the dualsport ride will be 40 - 45 miles on dirt roads, the street ride will be 100 miles.....both start and leave the same time and are about 2 - 2.5 hours from start to finish at the event. There will be A LOT of celebrities there, and it's for a great cause. I hope the charity event goes great for them ! I was told this also.....this event is more about the charity fund-raising, than about riding. I'd go if there was more dualsport riding involved, but it's too short a ride for me.

Joliet 0 Posted March 4, 2009 Depending on what time the ride starts, I will either ride before or after the ride to make a day of it. If we can find out the route ahead of time that will help with planning a longer ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 512 Posted March 4, 2009 If we can find out the route ahead of time that will help with planning a longer ride. Good luck on that, don't think that will happen, judging by the lack of ride description on the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
79SouthJim 0 Posted March 21, 2009 I actually just learned about this ride. Will be looking in to the details of signing up for the 100 mile slab portion of the ride. Still being new to this site (and sort of new to ADV), hope to see some of you out there. I also hope the weeks weather forcast of nice weather next weekend holds up as well - but even weather forcasters have trouble prediciting a day or two out.
