There are two clear signs that springtime is coming to Washington, D.C. The first is busloads of school kids making the trip to our nation’s capital to learn about how the government works and visit museums and monuments. The second sign is long lines of people trying to enter the U.S. Capitol complex.
The U.S. Capitol is surrounded by six office buildings that house the 535 members of Congress and their staff. Every year, beginning in late February and running through June, those buildings are packed with government officials, tourists, lobbyists, and most importantly, citizen advocates. These five months are the “busy season” on Capitol Hill. This is when Americans from across the country visit D.C. to educate lawmakers about issues that matter to them.
While many groups and organizations visit Congress to advocate issues, few are more visible or beloved than motorcyclists. For 15 years, the Motorcycle Riders Foundation has conducted our “Bikers Inside the Beltway” event. During this time, the annual event has grown in size and scope, with bikers from coast to coast making the trek to D.C. to advocate for their fellow riders. It has become a day that congressional offices prepare for and embrace!
As we exit winter and look towards Spring, it’s time to get fired up about the 16th annual Bikers Inside the Beltway! This year’s event will be May 19th and 20th. Without question, these two days are the most impactful days we have as motorcyclist rights advocates!
The countdown is on. In just 80 days, bikers will take our message to Capitol Hill.
Spring is coming… are you coming to Bikers Inside the Beltway?
