First Annual Chris Dodge Memorial Cancer Ride
Saturday October 24th, 2009

J.D. Dodge (known as â€œMr. DODGEâ€) and his wife Chris organized a Skyline Drive M&G and cruise through the scenic mountains of Virginia in Oct 2007. Little did they know their marriage of 59 years would be over in 8 short months. Chris passed away in June 2008 from cancer. She touched so many lives in the various automotive events she and JD attended with her warm friendship and kindness. And so many more young lives as a school bus driver for over 20 years.
In her memory we announce the First Annual Chris Dodge Memorial Cancer Ride. It will follow the exact 115 mile route Chris and J.D. organized in 2007. This will be a leasurly, 35 MPH limited drive so leave the lead feet at home for this event and enjoy the beauty and remember Chris and her love of nature. There will be a donation of $20 per car with 100% of the proceeds going to the cancer research center where Chris was treated. There is also a $15 fee to drive the Skyline from Front Royal, VA. to Rockfish Gap in Waynesboro, VA. The fall changing of the leaves should be well in progress and the drive has lots of mountain scenery so bring your cameras.
Meeting place will be at Deanâ€™s Steakhouse, 708 South Front Royal Avenue, Front Royal, Virginia 22630. This is where JD and Chris started their ride in 2007. I spoke with the owner, Mr. John Lancaster, and he said he was honored to be able to provide his lot for us to gather in. It's only 1/4 mile from the entrance to Skyline. Meeting time will be 9:00 AM, with departure time at 10:00. We will stop after 50 miles at Big Meadows for lunch. There is a restaurant, picnic areas, and complete facilities there. Other stops will be made as needed or desired.
There are numerous lodging facilities in Front Royal for those that want to stay Friday night and also in Waynesboro for those wanting to stay Saturday night. I will be going up early Saturday morning if anyone from So. MD. wants to caravan up.
More info will come soon and a flier will get distributed. PM me for phone numbers if youâ€™d like to help organize with flier design, pictures, possible prize donations, other things to do to collect money, etc.

Thanks for all efforts,
Tracey and Susan
