A Little About Me...

Hi! My name is Ronald (Ron) Milbank.

I am a 49 year old man living in Reno, NV with my beautiful wife Christine.

In April of this year I decided that I was going to visit Milbank, South Dakota after knowing of its existence for about eight years now. As this is a bucket list item for me, I decided to use this opportunity to help the city of my namesake by creating a charitable event for the Milbank School Endowment Fund.

I have been riding motorcycles since I was 18 years old. For this event, I will be riding my motorcycle on June 6th, 2017 from Reno, Nevada to the city of Milbank, South Dakota.
