Ride
Captain Lottery
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. The
winner 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 delayj@ctvea.net . If you
don’t have email you can call John Delay at
(334) 291-0546 and tell him your mileage as of 1
December.
Then go ride.
On 30 November check your mileage again and email or call it
in to John. If you sell or trade bikes during the year
let John 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.
Previous
winners: 2009 -
Bob Smith with just under 24,000
miles.
2010 - Bob Smith again with 23,238
miles
2011
- Belinda Baker with 18,310 miles
Who will it be this
year?
So make sure to get your mileage as of the December 1st
to John and go riding.
