WACO FIRST ANNUAL IRON MAN TRIATHLON ON 10/28/18 HD-WACO NEEDS SOME HELP.
My name is Leigh with HD WACO Events. Waco is holding it's 1st annual Iron Man Triathlon on 10/28/2018. Some of our HOG Chapter is able to help, but we need more volunteers. The Waco Chamber of Commerce has asked us to assist in this City wide event by providing them with riders that can carry camera men on the back of their motorcycles for them to film the Cyclist portion of the Triathlon. We are in need of at least 9 more volunteers for this part. We are also in need of any Volunteers from your Chapter that would be able to help direct the athletes that day too. We are to ride our motorcycles and direct them where they need to turn, while the police stop traffic for them. We have been asked to provide about 20 more directors. We do have some team members that can assist in this portion. Leigh Campbell Ambassador of Fun leigh.campbell@hdwaco.com
If you are interested in helping contact Leigh, or let Ben or Chad know and we can forward you more info with links to register.

Suggest a Ride
If you have a ride suggestion, submit it to the Activities officer. Be sure to include the name and location of the destination, your name and any comments you may have.
Please keep in mind that the rides are scheduled several months in advance and the destinations are reviewed for suitability before being scheduled. Suitability requires that a destination have the ability to handle a large group and provide safe, adequate motorcycle parking. Other factors such as distance, road conditions, weather, time-of-day, day-of-week, and difficulty of ride are also considered.
