HOW OFTEN DO WE MEET?We meet every Tuesday night for a dinner ride. Leaving a designated location at a certain fixed time, the final destination may be decided just prior to leaving depending on group size and weather. We typically schedule longer weekend rides for those interested. All rides are always planned to be casual and SAFE. During the off season we meet every 3rd Tuesday of every month for dinner. Once per year, JMA organizes a 3 day event called the Ride to Remember (R2R). This is the focal point of the JMA and is held at a different location within the United States each year. Interested Shul Boys members ride together to the R2R. The focus of the R2R is to remember the Holocaust and network with other clubs in a JMA club host city. Ian Abrams – Shul Boys founder Ian Abrams participated in the inaugural ride to Washington DC, from Miami, Florida, seven years ago as well as two other R2Rs. Each 4 day R2R event includes guided rides, speakers, lunches and dinners. Hundreds of JMA riders from all over the country and around the world attend the event.
