The Greatest Escape: a motorcycle ride for charity and mesothelioma awareness on August 3rd, near Los Angeles (thegreatestescape.org).
You may or may not know that Asbestos-caused Mesothelioma is the cancer that killed the motorcycle culture’s beloved Steve McQueen. Out of that tragedy, the folks at the Pacific Meso Center in Los Angeles have organized an event to help celebrate how far we’ve come in treating the condition, and to raise funds for research to continue helping sufferers.

The winner takes home:
– Two (2) Tickets to Ride: includes BBQ lunch, craft beer, concert, prizes and more
– Event T-Shirt
– Event Ride Bandana
– Ride Pin
Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
