Ride 2 Read

2020 Ride 2 Read

We have rescheduled our 2020 Ride 2 Read for Saturday, October 24. This is typically our first of 4 fundraisers in a year, but will be our only fundraiser for 2020, so it means a lot for all of you to take time to help our cause, as this year is more difficult for many families.

If you have not already registered: text RIDE to 404-491-7724, or click HERE.

We will start registration and waivers and serving coffee at 9:30 pm at the school: 4728 Wood Street, Acworth. Because of COVID-19 precautions, we will still not serve breakfast, but you will receive a Henry’s gift card in lieu of the breakfast if you have not already picked yours up. You can also get your t-shirt if you haven’t already.

If you have already registered you should have received a waiver. You can also print a copy. This not only help speed up registration, it will minimize contact, pen sharing, etc.

Please feel free to email a scanned copy of your waiver if that is easier (address is on waiver), or you can turn it in Saturday. We will also have waivers available if that is easier for you.

The ride will begin at 10AM, with two State Troopers escorting and Acworth Police assisting with Main Street. It is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours (depending on traffic that day) and will end back at the old library, behind Henry’s.

After the ride, if you are interested in lunch at Henry’s, they will have Uptown open for regular lunch service allowing for more availability of reservations on the day of the ride.

Due to COVID safety protocols; you should make a reservation [(770) 966-1515] if you plan to dine for lunch. You will be seated at your reservation time. Thank you for understanding that there can be no congregating inside the building and only at safe distances while waiting outside.

In light of the CDC’s recommendation last night, restricting events & gatherings to no more than 50 people, we will have to postpone the Ride.

We hate to do this. Though it’s not required, yet, we don’t want to put our local officials in a position where they are closing things down, but then not us, and we also don’t know that this might not become mandatory later. Most importantly, we are concerned for the health of our riders.

The second pick up will be on Tuesday, March 24 from 1pm to 3pm.

If needed, we will schedule further dates depending on how things change.

Do not worry, we will hold them for you as long as we need, and you can even pick up when we reschedule.

Once this settles down and things get back to normal, we will be rescheduling our spring fundraisers, and keep you posted.

We appreciate your support and your understanding, and let’s hope things get back to normal soon!
