I have 3 wonderful children, Ashley, Carmelo, & Gabe. I have a beautiful granddaughter named Abbey that is 3 years old and 1 almost here. She (Tayvn) should arrive any day now. Ashley is married to Brandon Green, Carmelo is in college, and Gabe is a senior at Southeast High School. I spend my extra time with my family as much as possible. I love football, riding my Harley, ABATE events, riding with the HOG, and spending time with friends. I am on the committee for American Cancer, and for the Alzheimer’s Association. My mother among lots of others had Alzheimer's and I work with a lot of Cancer patients, so I want to do all that I can to help. I encourage all of you to help, let me know if you are interested. I would love to have ABATE D1 team for both this year!
I am so excited with the events this year for ABATE D1, we are becoming a great big family. I love you all and I thank you for letting me be Activities Director. Also, thank you for all of your help and encouragement. I couldn't do it with out YOU.

I was born here in Murray County and have lived here all my life. My parents were Hoyt and Kathleen Ridley (both deceased). I have one sister Betty Jo (Ridley) Wells, two brother Randy and Darrell Ridley, one daughter Adriane (Ridley) Ellis and one son Cody Grant Ridley; together they have given me six wonderful grandchildren.

            Most if you may remember me from working at our local Shop-Rite grocery store for over twenty years. Then after a couple of major turns in my life I started to work for the Murray County Sheriff’s Department in 1992 where I still work today and hope to retire there so I can enjoy my new found passions. I met my wife and riding partner Kimberly (Shaner) Ridley, whom you may know as “Aunt B” who was the Ladies of Harley Officer and is now the editor and road captain for the Mountain Creek HOG Chapter and also a new ABATE D1 member.

            I am currently the Safety Officer, a Road Captain for the HOG’s, a member of ABATE D1, Blue Knights GA IX Motorcycle Club. Together Kim and I have discovered the wonderful world of motorcycles, which has changed our lives. We were told when we purchased our Harleys that we weren’t just getting new motorcycles but also a new way of life and boy was that true. And so the rest of the adventure is just beginning!!!

I love spending time with my family and friends. I love meeting new people and well, I never meet a stranger. I ride a Honda VT1100, I try to ride as much as I can. I heard about ABATE from a friend and they said that it is a good group of people who also love to ride. I am so glad I did they are the best bikers you can meet! 
It is such a honor to know each and every one of you.
