"Motorists aren't used to seeing motorcycles on the road during the winter months, but with warmer weather more and more motorcyclists are taking to the roads and people need to start looking specifically for motorcycles when driving," said Allan Woods from Hill's safety office. All military and civilian motorcycle riders from on- and off-base are invited to participate in the event. The motorcycle ride through Davis and Weber Counties will promote motorcycle awareness and safety on roads and highways to help save lives. The ride starts from the Hill Air Force Base Motorcycle Safety Range near the South Gate. Riders without access to the base start at the Hill Aerospace Museum.

"We have a number of other speakers who have a vested interest in the Air Force Sustainment Center and what it means to the Air Force," said Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Kevin Sullivan, 2012 AFA Symposium chairman and commander of the Ogden Air Logistics Center, 2003-2007. Other symposium speakers include: Lt. Gen. Judith Fedder, deputy chief of staff for Logistics, Installations and Mission Support, U.S. Air Force Headquarters; Maj. Gen. Christopher C. Bogdan, KC-46 PEO and program director, KC-46 Tanker Modernization Directorate, Aeronautical Systems Center; Brig. Gen. Dwyer L. Dennis, director, ISR and Requirements Directorate, AFMC; and Henry A. Obering III, senior vice president, Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. "We try to keep a logistics flavor for this conference, The theme - 'Acquisition and Sustainment in the 21st Century AFMC' keeps with our emphasis on AFMC logistics," Sullivan said. "That's why we're inviting Lt. Gen. Fedder as the head logistician and she can talk to us about what this means from a logistics standpoint." "It kind of ties it back to Hill and our mission here, which is logistics as well," Herman Raiff, Hill's liaison for Focus on Defense, said. During the symposium each guest speaker will be given time to talk about topics and issues that concern their field of expertise and how they foresee the future of the Air Force, and then the floor will be opened up for questions. Questions will be written down during each speaker's presentation and collected by Mike Dunn, AFA president, who will then select which ones are of most interest to the general public and present them to the speakers, Sullivan described. The symposium will also acknowledge Utah Outstanding Teacher of the Year award winners, and the CyberPatriot IV cyber warfare competition competitors from the Clearfield High School Junior ROTC. "The AFA themselves sponsor 40 top performers from gins at 11 a.m. The police escorted ride will lead motorcyclists through several local communities including Ogden, Roy, Sunset, Clearfield and Layton. Previous rides have drawn more than 300 riders from Northern Utah. "We're hoping to garner as much onand off-base participation as possible in this year's ride," Woods said. "Our goal is to show vehicle operators just how many motorcyclists are sharing the road with them. "The more riders that participate, the bigger impact we'll have on the community to help raise awareness about motorcycles. We're trying to save lives with this campaign, so please join us," Woods said. Hill AFB motorcyclists will assemble for the ride at 10:30 a.m. at the base's Motorcycle Safety Range located behind the South Gate Visitor's Center. Once the ride begins, riders will meet up with off-base riders from the local community at the Hill Aerospace Museum located at 5600 South in Roy just outside the base's Roy Gate. Riders who don't have access to the base and who want to participate in the ride will need to be ready at the museum parking lot no later than 10:45 a.m. For information about the ride, please call (801) 777-7469.
