H.O.G. Chapter Ride - Semper Fi CTF - HEROES Week Escort

Event date: 
Thu, 11/07/2024 - 1:45pm to 5:00pm

H.O.G. Chapter Riders,

Please plan to meet @ RHD @ 1:45pm to join RCs Ben K. & Deno M. on this ride to the Huntsville Airport.  Upon arrival at the airport, our group will participate in the escort of the arriving heroes honored by the Semper Fi Community Task Force of North Alabama (SFCTF).  

Plan to meet/stage at RHD at 1:45pm.  We'll go KSU @ 2:15pm for a ride to the Hunstville Airport.

At the Huntsville Airport, we'll plan to stage along the painted area left of the Airport arrival/departure area.  Note:  In past years, this has been very obvious when you come around the corner of the arrival/departure area of the airport...just get in line.

The escort will go from the airport to a local hotel.  

**Also, if you wish to provide one of the heroes a passenger ride on your bike from the airport to the hotel, please bring the appropriate gear (glasses, gloves, helmet).  Upon arriving at RHD for staging, please inquire on a loaner helmet if needed/desired.

**Please stay tuned for additional updates to this site as more information becomes available.

**Note:  This is a Closed Chapter event (Member and 1 guest participants--for our ride from RHD to Airport)

Please see the extract from the SFCTF media release below for more info.
