The 31st Annual OKHT Needs your Help
We are getting down to the wire, 90 days to go
I need your help. - VOLUNTEER - The Harvest is Plentiful, the Gather's are few.
We still have plenty of openings that need to be filled. We also have sags that need
a leader, this is your chance to get your creative side going. We allow all sags to be decorated
and you are the decorator.
We have the Race Team back at Lily Pike, and the surprise will await all that stop at Harmony
Habitat on Sunday morning. Lincoln Homestead will have the Harley Davidson group again. They may even have
some motorcycles on hand. Let's not forget the wonderful work of Team Bag Balm on Sunday afternoon either.
Be a part of OKHT history, create a sag.
There are also plenty of openings for before and after you ride.
Contact the volunteer coordinator, join us. Have fun and make Friends.
Pancakes will be flying in the cafeteria on Sunday morning. If you haven’t seen this before, you must come ride
the 2008 OKHT. The only place where you will catch your own breakfast
I want to take this time to invite everyone back for the 31st Annual
OKHT on September 6 & 7, 2008. The ride will be better than ever. I
am already making plans. So, be ready to sign up and invite your friends.
Check the web site in 2008 for updates about the 31st Annual OKHT.
And if you’ve enjoyed riding OKHT in the past, consider giving a
longtime volunteer a break by becoming a volunteer yourself in 2008. You
just don’t know what you are missing if you are not a part of the
OKHT team.
Check out the volunteer page, there are plenty of opening just for YOU.
The OKHT TEAM also needs volunteers, we have openings for both a volunteer coordinator
and someone to take care of our sponsors.
Without volunteers and sponsors this would be just a day on the bike. With your
help it has become a great weekend

What a great ride! Great sag support, entertainment, routes.
Can't say enough good about it. Pam and I will be back next year!

This was the first bike tour I ever did, back in 1985 or '86 (I can't
remember...), so it's always held a special place in my heart.

WHAT A great ride. This is my 3rd year to attend from 1 and 1/2
hours away - Columbus, IN. The routes are wonderful, the people
are so FRIENDLY and the food is great.
