| Ridden-On Ride | |
|
The term 'ridden-on' is used to describe a rider who has died or passed on,
usually while riding their motorcycle. In the past year many of us have been
touched by the passing of those special to us.
On February 18, 2007, the MRA held it's inaugural Ridden-On Ride to remember our lost friends, family and loved ones. This has become an annual event conducted in February each year. The Ridden-On Ride attracts wide spread support from the community and SAPOL, and interest from the media. We also acknowledge the well-wishers who gather on the footpaths on the route to wave and support us. | |

| February 2012 - Ride Details | |
|
Due to the unanimous support and encouragement of this event since 2007,
we will hold the 2012 event on February 19. For 2012, we are allowing cars
to follow the riders. This will allow those who don't ride to join in with
this event. Please advise an organiser on the day if you have a car.
Please tell your friends and mark it in your dairies.
The Ridden-On Ride will mob up at the Victoria Hotel Car Park, Main South Road, O'Halloran Hill at 8.30am for a 10.00am ride off. Please check the ride details available from the samrats upcoming rides page for the most current information. This year the Victoria Hotel has kindly offered to provide a breakfast. They are prepared to take orders from 8.30am. They can provide an Egg and bacon roll for $5 and a cup of "real" coffee for $3.50. Please get there in time to enjoy this breakfast and be ready to leave on time. Please be ready to move your machine at exactly 10.00am as SAPOL will control our exit from the car park. We gather at this location to remember Wendy Van Gasteren and TJ Maxwell who collided at O'Halloran Hill. Their demise sent ripples through the riding community and many riders demanded we remember them. From here we will ride to Second Valley where we stop to say a prayer and remember those precious to us all. From here we will ride Delamere Road to Victor Harbor where we hope riders will share memories and remember better times with other riders. We hope to have ministers and counsellors available if anyone needs to "talk". This year we have been provided with extra motorcycle parking in the Car Park between the reserve and the sea. It is hoped that this extra space will allow us to accomodate the bikes without interferring with the usual traders parks. See a map of the venue. Simon will be our minister and say the prayer on the day. He would like to include the names of people special to those on the day. Please email Simon. Proceeds - We are pleased to announce that the MRA 4Bs will receive the proceeds from this years event. Please note: You do not have to ride the event to buy a badge. 
The 4Bs, as well as visiting downed riders in hospital are trying to build a DVD library and players so hospitalised riders may relieve the bordom of an extended stay. | |
| Badge Policy - The MRA has a different policy with these badges. On the day after Toy Run all existing stock of the current year will be destroyed. Hence, if you want to collect these badges you will need to buy one during the current year. | |
