"We're excited to 'go national' with this new sport of Motomarathon, and take advantage of the incredible roads and climate of Southern California," said founding Route Master John Metzger.
The Motomarathon Association runs an annual series of four-day rides over the best roads and through the best scenery in the country. Routes remain secret until the night before each day's ride, then verified at day's end through self-recorded checkpoints using digital or cell phone cameras. "The format has struck a nerve with today's sport-touring riders, and with Motomarathon sponsors Ducati North America (bikes), Aerostich (clothing) and Wolfman (luggage)," said Metzger.

Join the Ohio Motorcyclists for Children (http://www.ohiomcforchildren.org) for this unique event in Columbus, Ohio, Roll On Columbus (http://www.rolloncolumbus.com). It's May 22.. All proceeds from Roll On Columbus are going straight to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. We have all kinds of activities planned including several bands, Motoglobe (the guy who rides his motorcycle around in the metal globe), Mini GP race, stunt show, trials guys, vendors, food, etc. It aims to be a very family friendly event with stuff for every age to enjoy, while raising money for Children's Hospital. It's going to be a blast. As for becoming a sponsor on our site, it's pretty straight forward. We charge $100/yr. That gets you a banner in the rotation at the top of every page, a static 125x125 banner on the home page and forum listing page, your own forum in the Sponsors section, mention in our newsletter, Supporting Sponsor tag below your name, etc. $100/yr is dirt cheap. We do this because we make ZERO profit from the site. Every penny we charge our sponsors goes straight back to the site for things like parties, free stickers, etc. More details on the above Web sites.
