Riding through all kind of bad weather including a tornado these riders reached their goal in plenty of time.
Congratulations on a Job Well Done!!!
Each year the Iron Knights pick a destination for the Iron Butt Ride, this year it is New Orleans
!000 miles in 24 hours. We Ride So Children Can Walk. Last year the Iron Knights rode through rain, sleet and snow to the Shriners Hospital for Children in Greenville SC. There was a child who was scheduled to return home after an extended stay, upon hearing that the riders where expected to arrive , she refused to go home until she saw the motorcycles and the riders. The riders arrived cold, wet and tired. The child talked to all , inspiring them and not a dry eye was in the hospital.
We are starting this years ride on April the 14th from Savannah. This ride cost is $500 dollars with a registration fee of $100. You will receive a certificate from the Iron Butt Association, badge and T-shirt. Those from Augusta will leave on the 13th and stay at the location of the start. So you can be rested for the ride. We will Stop every 125 miles for gas , food and coffee. All lodging, food, and gas each rider is responsible.
Join us and mark this off your bucket list.

Colt Ford Concert Donations
On Friday March 10, 2023 the Augusta Shrine Club set up a station at the Colt Ford Concert to get donations for Greenville SC Shriners Hospital. We received $560.44 for the Hospital. We shared with people what Shriners do. We spoke to some parents for past patients and some folks that were treated by Shriners Hospitals for Children. It's great when you see how much Shriners have helped people in the community and mostly helped children to have a better life experience.
