By: hokie4runner on April 15, 2017, 9:41 PM | 3 comments

This year it first coincide with the spring game. It's a great event to remember those lost 10 years ago, and the money raised goes to helping scholarships in their names.

Don't have a motorcycle? You can still donate.

There is always a great raffle (Buzz signed basketball last year) and Hokie bird will be there this year for 10th anniversary.

Any riders here?

Stumbled across this earlier and it mentioned the ride.

Instead of candlelight vigils and ceremonies, Dave McCain opts for the hum of his 2005 Harley Road King. The weekend of April 16, he goes for a long ride, where he can focus only on the road ahead.

Later this month, he does Hogs4Hokies — a ride of 100-plus motorcyclists that leaves from Manassas, Hampton and Richmond to the Virginia Tech campus. It raises money for 32 scholarships — one for each student who died April 16, 2007. McCain heard about it through Frank Salzano, class of 1983, who spearheaded the ride 10 years ago.

It's the last saturday in April, so the 29th. They have had issues with it corresponding to the spring game in the past, which has hurt attendance.

It's a great event, and some of the families of the victims participate.

VTminer, could be good networking. A mining friend of mine, Class of 2001 I believe will be attending. He is in grad school at VT now for mining as well.
