Bikers Descend Onto Pelican Bay

On Saturday, September 8^th the residents of Pelican Bay, a gated "golf community" here in Daytona had their quiet lifestyle interrupted for a couple hours by the thunder of around 50 bikers and their machines.

They were riding up and down Pelican Bay Drive and in and out of the Pelican Bay Country Club, side by side on their shinning machines, but no one told the residents why their otherwise quiet lifestyle was being so noisily interrupted! Yes, Steve and I were among them.  

We were filming a commercial for our Annual Bikes & Blues With Mickey Jones Ride & our 3^rd Annual Mickey Jones Celebrity Golf Classic which is going to be played at the Pelican Bay Golf Course this year.

While we were filming near the golf cart house I noticed a couple residents peeking over their fence watching the excitement so I went over to let them in our secret.

They were real excited about what we were doing and wished they had known about this before hand, they would have loved to have been part of our mini production!

Our Bikes and Blues committee is made up of golfers and bikers that meet once a month with the common goal of raising money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis TN. Our events are held once a year in April, to date we've raised over $62,000 for St. Jude. We would love to raise that much in one weekend this year.

Our commercial will be aired on local channels here in Daytona as well as Youtube, and where ever else we can  play it to get more people to attend our ride and play in our golf classic.

Special thanks to the Palm Coast Chapt. of the Red Knights, ABATE, The Iron Horse gang, The Pelican Bay Golf Club and Tim Biggs from PBS, the man with the camera for making this possible!
