As we shared in January, Jerry Call is hitting the road to rediscover America—50 years after his first cross-country motorcycle trip. As Jerry approaches his 70th birthday, he’s setting out on a two-month ride across the U.S., reconnecting with old friends, exploring new places, and raising awareness and funds for The Life Raft Group, a community that’s been close to his heart for nearly 25 years.
As this incredible journey gets underway, we’re excited to share some of the planned stops and opportunities to connect along the route. Whether you’re a longtime friend, a fellow rider, a member of the GIST community, or just someone who loves a good road trip story, we hope you’ll find a way to be part of the adventure. Below is the current schedule of events and meetups—stay tuned for updates as the trip unfolds and new stops are added!
