2024 Rider of the Year - Jodi Gallagher

President Tom John and 2024 Ride of the Year Jodi Gallagher

By Kevin Irwin - 2025 Chapter President

Kind, compassionate, and caring are just a few adjectives that members use to describe our newest Rider of the Year. People are mostly struck by her smile. Rick Kendall best describes her as someone who “starts the ride with a smile, and it is there at the end of the ride.”

Jodi has been a capable co-pilot for President and Ride Leader Tom Johnson. She helps with pre-rides, checks routes, and keeps track of the details. She also takes it upon herself to grab the sign-in book and welcomes everyone as they arrive for the ride. Consistently in the top 20 mileage earners, she has been committed to the chapter.

Like many in her community, Tom has found inspiration and support from Jodi. She leads with kindness, is a great listener, and helps many people work through difficult situations. All of this adds up to someone who represents the spirit of our little motorcycle group.

Please join me in congratulating Jodi!!
