Blaise ’N’ A Trail is a memorial motorcycle ride that was named for CW2 Mike Blaise, an avid rider who gave his life serving in Iraq. The ride has grown into an annual memorial ride that honors a different fallen soldier each year, with a new destination. In 2005 we rode to Sturgis, South Dakota for Bike Week, honoring CW2 Mike Blaise. In 2006 we rode to Washington D.C. for Rolling Thunder, honoring CW4 Matt Salter. In 2007 we rode to Daytona Beach, Florida for Bike Week, honoring CPT Matt Mattingly. In 2008 we will be riding to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the 105th anniversary of Harley Davidson, and the opening of their museum, and NO, you DO NOT have to have a Harley to ride with us. For more...
