May Ride 2020 - The "Solo" Motorcycle May Ride due to COVID 19.While we prepare for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 80th anniversary, we take a look back at a different kind of motorcycle rally which took place this year. May Ride is put together by Clint August of 101.5 KGB FM along with Biggs Harley Davidson and the Law Tigers. Every year this event is put together to raise money for the Armed Services YMCA. We were so excited to film this motorcycle rally this year, but due to Covid 19, we had to change it up. In this video I will show you the motorcycle route we put together for May Ride 2020. I rode this on my 2020 Harley Davidson Road Glide Special.At the time of this video, we were 6 days away from leaving for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. I can't wait to come back and put together some epic cinematic footage from the event. Thanks for watching and please share, subscribe, and leave a comment. DONT FORGET TO HIT THE BELL ICON.
All right.
Rain gear.
Wife's rain gear.
What is up, everybody?
It is the full throttle hog
and we are getting ready for Sturgis.
We are leaving in six days from right now,
right when you're watching this video.
So pumped, still gotta get the bike washed,
still got a lot to do.
However, it got me thinking about all the different rallies
that has happened in 2020 and with COVID
and how things have changed.
It made me think about Mayride 2020.
For those of you that don't know,
Mayride is put together by Mr. Clint August himself
from 101.5 KGB FM in San Diego.
He's also a motorcycle monkey.
If you guys are not checking out his channel, you need to.
I'll put the link up here.
So Clint August actually partners up
with many people to get this done
and he is working around the clock.
He's probably even starting now to work on 2021,
but he's working with Biggs Harley Davidson
to get this done, the Law Tigers to get this done
and many other sponsors.
So 2021, I cannot wait to shoot the event in its entirety.
But every year they put together a rally
to help support the armed services of YMCA.
This is supporting our troops all around.
So we highly support that.
I partnered up with Clint this year.
I was really looking forward
to documenting the entire event.
Typically on a normal year,
Mayride should look like something like this.
But because we're dealing with COVID right now,
we had to change it up a little bit this year.
And so all we could do is kind of do
like a solo Mayride event.
I was able to go out and do some filming
and I want to show that to you right now.
So here is Mayride 2020.
I hope you guys enjoy this video
and the footage of the route.
Here we go.

Stop number one, Bates Nut Farm.
God, this route is awesome.
This store is gonna be open the whole month of May.
So when you come and you stop here
and with social distancing, of course,
give them some of your business.
They agreed to be one of the ride stops
that was supposed to happen May 16th.
Instead, it's the entire month, like we said.
But look at this.
They're very friendly to bikers.
They're friendly to everybody.
They're even friendly to old people,
like these two who are in their rocking chairs
here at Bates Nut Farm.
Look, Chuck's got his plastic bag.
That's my bag and my pH water now.
His Metamucil.
What you got there, Deb?
Lemonade.
And notice they are social distancing,
even though they wake up together.
Yeah.

Ride stop two, Mayride 2020.
We made it back 70 miles.
Good route, guys.
Great route.
This is where the stunts would be happening,
where I'm riding through right now.
And they will again next year.
Bunch of vendors lined up down the street,
parking lot, all this.
But that's all right.
We will do a ride every day in May of your choosing.
Download the map on mayride.com or 101kgb.com,
the Clint page.
Start here at Biggs, stop at the two ride stops,
and then finish here at Biggs.
And there we are.
But that's gonna do it.
Like I said, we are getting ready for Sturgis.
I am bringing all the production gear with me.
We're gonna try to film as much as possible.
Please hit subscribe.
Down below, hit that bell icon
so you see when we release those videos for Sturgis 2020.
I cannot wait.
Right before we get to Sturgis,
we're actually gonna take a little detour.
We're gonna go to Cody, Wyoming,
where we're gonna spend the night, wake up early,
and we're gonna hit Beartooth Pass,
go up to Red Lodge, Montana.
Beautiful route.
Also recommended to me by Mr. Clint August,
who by his own accord, and hopefully I can vouch for this,
is the best motorcycle ride he's ever been on in his life.
So we're gonna have filming of that.
We're gonna have drone footage.
We're gonna have things going on in Sturgis.
All the great stuff that you see,
but in that cinematic fashion
that we like to do here on this channel.
So please stay tuned.
But that's gonna do it for this video this week,
and we will catch you guys next Monday.
