The 1st annual Gayle Sheldon Memorial Motorcycle Ride was a resounding success. On behalf of our mother Gayle Sheldon please accept our thanks for your support of this 85 mile ride event. We were truly humbled by the support of so many drivers and riders who helped ensure success of the ride. It was Gayle's wish that there would be an annual motorcycle ride through the beautiful Green Mountains.
