The club likes to reward those who volunteer to lead rides. Each
year we implement a new Ride Captain Lottery.
Every time a member leads a ride he or she receives an entry in the Ride
Captain Lottery. The more rides a member leads the more entries he
or she will receive. This will continue throughout the year until
the last ride of the year. Once the last ride is completed all
of the entries will be pooled and a winner will be drawn from
all entries either at the annual holiday party or during the January
business meeting. The winner (and spouse if applicable) will receive
free membership for the following year.
There are a couple of caveats however. First, if a member
volunteers to lead a ride the ride must actually take place with
that member leading the ride. If the ride is rained out or otherwise
canceled the member receives no entry for that ride. If for any
other reason the ride captain cannot lead the ride the person who
actually leads the ride gets the lottery entry.
Since lotteries are by nature a game of chance there is no
guarantee that the person who leads the most rides will win the
lottery. It’s entirely possible that a person who leads just one
ride will win the lottery. However as with all lotteries the more
chances you have the better your odds of winning.
Keep this in mind when you volunteer to lead a ride or are asked
to lead a ride. It may just pay off for you. Mileage Contest Most everyone likes to put miles on their bikes right? Well here is your chance to have a little fun and get recognized for your commitment to riding. All riding members of the VMTA
are eligible to enter into the Yearly Mileage Contest. In
order to enter all you have to do is send the mileage on your bike(s) as
of 1 December to smiller59@bellsouth.net.
If
you don’t have email you can call Susan Miller at (706) 615-3355 and tell her your mileage as of 1 December. Then go ride. On 30 November check your mileage again and email or call it in to Susan. If you sell or trade bikes during the year let Susan know the ending mileage of the old bike and starting mileage of the new bike. The contest is for total miles ridden on any and all motorcycles you own during the year. The type of miles doesn’t matter. It can be a club ride, commuting to work, or even a trip to Hooter’s. The winner receives the 'Bob Smith High
Milage Award plaque with his or her name on it to keep for the
following year.

2005 Bob Smith, who rode 24,137
miles.
