Third Annual Dream House 500

A Special North Georgia Adventure Touring and Sport Touring Event

Alpharetta, GA Saturday, October 6, 2007

We are pleased to announce the third annual Dream House 500, a special adventure touring and sport touring motorcycle event to be held Saturday, October 6, 2007. The AMA sanctioned ride will start and finish at the Honda Rider Education Center in Alpharetta, GA.

Three complimentary meals will be included in the day's activities. A continental breakfast will be served during morning registration. Lunch will be catered on the shore of a beautiful north Georgia lake with live music entertainment.

The entree for the hot evening meal on the patio will be your choice of grilled chicken or steak.

After the evening meal, we will award our grand prize, a Tucker-Rocky catalog

and a $1,000 gift certificate to spend on anything in the catalog. The prize is courtesy of Tucker-Rocky http://www.powersportrider.com/cgi-bin/zcatjpg and BMW Motorcycles of Atlanta http://www.bmwmcoa.com/.

The sport touring route will be about 500 km (300 miles). The adventure touring route for those who like a little dirt on their tires will be about 400 km (250 miles). The ADV tour is shorter to allow time to enjoy a selection of scenic Forest Service roads in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Each rider will be issued a route sheet with detailed route instructions. These are self-guided tours, but we encourage riders to travel in small groups. We will have guides available for those who want one.

This is not a parade event. This is for riders who like to read maps and ride lots of miles of twisty pavement (Sport Tour) or twisty dirt roads (ADV Tour).

Please join us and our sponsor, Maxxis Tires, for a special event for a special cause. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Dream House for Medically Fragile Children, Inc, a non-profit corporation, headquartered in Lilburn, GA. http://www.dreamhouseforkids.org/

The founder of the Dream House, Laura Moore, was chosen as ABC News Person of the week in January, 2007.
Watch the video here (after the 30 second commercial) http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2774657

The minimum donation requested is $100 per rider and $50 per passenger.

Tell your friends and family that you are raising money to help medically fragile children who have been abandoned by their families. Ask them to sponsor your ride for $5 or $10. You will be surprised at how quickly it adds up to $100 or much more.
