为Advrider写作的好处之一是我获得的“其他”机会。新利18苹果作为作家带来了一些特权，其中一个正在遇到一些有趣而激励的人。最近我在我身边发生了这件事美国and learned about the Rally for Rangers organization.

我被要求与一群骑着鲜血的人一起参加圆桌讨论。我的一名小组成员是Rangers联合创始人Tom Medema的集会。

Tom Medema

汤姆（Tom）是目前驻扎在华盛顿特区的美国公园护林员。他在美国一些最美丽的国家公园中遍布全国各地的帖子。汤姆（Tom）的工作使他能够看到并了解全球不同国家公园的运作。不幸的是，他发现世界各地的许多公园游骑兵都无法正常工作。此外，他发现，尽管游骑兵有很多领土可供覆盖，但他们通常几乎没有可靠的旅行手段。

As a result of his job, he also knows that around the world, national parks like the ones he supports are under constant threat. Wild animals, fish, and plants are routinely poached. Illegal mining, logging, and the illicit drug trade devastate the landscape. Sometimes, important cultural artifacts are stolen or damaged. Against this backdrop, park rangers work to protect their park’s precious resources.

rally for Rangers

因此，汤姆与其他车手韦斯利·桑伯里（Wesley Thornberry）和罗伯特·麦金托什（Robert McIntosh）共同创立了rally for Rangers。它是501（c）3的项目蒙古生态中心这是一个非政府组织，其使命是“……通过用新的摩托车和设备赋予世界各地的流浪者的能力来保护世界的特殊场所。”您可能想象的是，这是一项艰巨的工作，汤姆捐赠了所有工作，并利用他的休假时间来支持该组织。

riders and donations needed

这就是您可以加入并提供帮助的地方。尽管游骑兵的集会最终会为公园护林员购买摩托车和设备，但也必须交付。这意味着他们需要像您这样的人来帮助筹集资金，然后骑自行车并运送购买的自行车将其在全球偏远地区停车。

By the end of 2022, Rally for Ranger’s riders from around the world will have donated more than 160 motorcycles to parks in Mongolia, Argentina, Nepal, Peru, and Bhutan. It’s likely pretty difficult to imagine how epic those rides to deliver the bikes are. But in any event, they are epic.

您如何参加

显然，购买摩托车并交付它们需要钱。因此，您将被要求捐赠10,750美元，以支付自行车和其他集会费用的费用。这笔款项不仅涵盖摩托车，还涵盖国内航班（在您将运送自行车的国家），所有住宿，乡村用餐，支援货车，铅骑手，机械师，翻译人员，公园入口费和照片期刊。

While the money is not insignificant, there’s a way to pay for everything at no cost to you. As I said earlier, Rally for Rangers is a 501(c)3 organization. That means you can raise donations from other people, and they can take a tax deduction.

So if you have friends, family, or anyone for that matter, that want to support Rally for Ranger’s great cause, you can solicit donations from them, and they will get a tax deduction. It’s a win/win for all involved.

即使您无法筹集全部金额，也可以从自己的口袋中完全或部分资助费用。然后，您将获得捐款金额的税收减免。

申请运送摩托车

如果您有兴趣将自行车运送到公园护林员，并在一些壮观的景观上骑行和越野骑行，那么您就可以must apply to the organization。You will most certainly be riding in fantastic scenery and terrain. But the route may challenge you.

From the Rally for Rangers website on the Bhutan delivery:

“在不丹，大多数人都是一次极端冒险，风险合理。新利18苹果rally参与者需要在各种条件下经验并有能力骑行；沙，泥，车辙，陡峭，河流等。我们的路线是技术性的，放下自行车是常规的，轻度伤害并不少见。”

“远程不丹不是学习这些技能的地方，您必须在出发前拥有它们，以确保所有参与者最安全，最愉快的冒险经历。新利18苹果您的奖励将是世界上任何地方可用的最独特和有意义的体验之一。如果您觉得自己已经具备上述技能，或者致力于培训和获取技能团结，请单击下面的链接，让我们来做！”

If you are chosen, you will be traveling for about two weeks, depending on the location you will be delivering the bikes to.

US motorcycle deliveries

rally for Rangers is presently working on a plan to deliver bikes to protected places in the US. I can’t tell you where the motorcycles will be delivered. But it will be in a remote part of the country that very few get to see. And you be riding a motorcycle through this amazing place. As we get more information, we will pass it along.

最后一分钟取消

rally for Rangers recently received some cancellations for this year’s Mongolia ride. They are looking for three to five riders to ride from August 15 through August 29th 2022 from the Gobi to northern Mongolia. So if you can go with only a couple of month’s notice, Rally for Rangers wants to hear from you.
