Motorists across Davis and Weber County are likely to see a large group of motorcyclists lined up and riding the streets June 16.

The 7th annual "See Me, Save Me" campaign ride will stage at the Hill Motorcycle Safety Training Range (east of the South Gate Visitor's Center) at 10:30 a.m., head out the Roy Gate at approximately 11 a.m., ride a circular route through local communities and finish at the Hill Aerospace Museum.

A number of community leaders will participate in the ride. All off-base riders who would like to join the campaign ride may stage at the Hill Aerospace Museum at 10:45 a.m. and join the group as it leaves the Roy Gate.

"The purpose of the ride is to motivate motorists to take a second look, specifically for motorcyclists and smaller traffic, and to share the road with the smaller traffic including bicyclists and pedestrians," said Allan Woods, Hill AFB's Motorcycle Safety Program Manager. "In the past, the ride has been very popular, and we welcome all riders to join our campaign. There is great strength in numbers."

Local law enforcement and Utah Highway Patrol will escort the riders, and will close intersections as the ride progresses.
