FCSO, local motorcycle clubs partner for Unity Ride
Nearly 100 riders gathered near the corner of 14th and Liberty Streets before making the nearly 30-mile ride to Jamestown.
Last weekend several local motorcycle clubs and individual riders joined forces with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) for the inaugural Unity Ride. According to Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough, the event was intended to bring awareness of and help bring an end to ongoing gun violence in our community.
On the morning of the event, nearly 100 riders gathered near the corner of 14th and Liberty Streets before making the nearly 30-mile ride to Jamestown. Before joining the other riders, Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough thanked everyone for participating. He also encouraged riders to join a mentoring program launched by the FCSO at the Winston Lake YMCA.
“We’re not just going to show up on motorcycles and ride today and call it quits, it’s bigger than that,” Kimbrough said. “It’s going to take all of us to turn this around.
“So all I’m asking is that beyond today, we come together and strategize on how we’re going to move on this.”
