Motorcyclists From Three States To Unite For Safety

The Florida Department of Transportation is doing their part in encouraging motorcylists not to drink and ride.

For the second year, the department will host "Ride Straight State to State: None for the Road Motorcycle Run."

On April 28, motorcyclists and law enforcement from Florida, Georgia and Alabama will meet at the Florida Welcome Center on U.S. 231, at the Alabama-Florida state line (just west of the Georgia-Alabama border.)

Representatives from the Florida's Motorcycle Safety Coalition Members, Florida Rider Training Program Personnel, Florida Highway Patrol, Community Traffic Safety Teams and local law enforcement agencies will greet cyclists as they arrive. The motorcyclists will ride together to attend the Thunder Beach Motorcycle Rally
in Panama City Beach, which begins on Wednesday April 27.

Officials hope the event will raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and cycling.  For more information about how to take part in the ride, go to: www.ridesmartflorida.com.
