July 6, 2011 — Helena, MT —
Join motorcycling legends Malcolm Smith and JN Roberts for the ride of a
lifetime August 24-29, 2011 and help celebrate their 70th birthday in
the exclusive setting of JN’s backyard. Set on JN Roberts’ 1,400-acre
ranch in Montana, the event is limited to the first 30 riders, and the
proceeds go to a truly worthy cause (www.MalcolmSmithMotorsportsFoundation.org <http://www.MalcolmSmithMotorsportsFoundation.org> ). Racing For Life (http://www.racingforlife.org)
has organized this epic event to raise $30,000 to benefit the Malcolm
Smith Motorsports Foundation and the El Oasis Orphanage, located in
Valle de Trinidad, Baja California.  This six day trip is open to anyone
who loves to ride dirt bikes and would love to celebrate Malcolm’ and
JN’s birthday with them.  Experience the thrill of a lifetime riding
with JN Roberts and Malcolm Smith for several days in the Rocky
Mountains.



This is the second annual “Rocky Mountain Road Trip” the event will be
held at JN’s private ranch, located about 30 minutes from Helena,
Montana. The ranch features nearly 20 miles of single-track riding
through beautiful Rocky Mountain forest.  Like last year the riders will
also join Malcolm and JN on the Saturday ride in the nearby Helena
National Forest.  After three exhilarating days of riding with the two
legends, the caravan will return to Southern California on Monday,
August 29.



About the Fundraiser

Each rider will pay his or her own way, and will be asked to make a
$1,000 donation directly to the Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation. In
return, riders receive a tax deduction receipt.  100% of the proceeds
will go directly to the education fund for the Hogar de Ninos El Oasis
Children’s Orphanage, located in Valle de Trinidad, Baja California.
 The first student from the orphanage to graduate from college under
Malcolm’ education program is Daniella Hernandez, 22.  She graduated
this spring from Navojoa University earning her teaching credentials,
with a minor in psychology.  Navajoa University is located in Navajoa,
Sonora, Mexico.



About The Ride

JN Roberts and Malcolm Smith are two of the greatest ambassadors in
the history off-road racing, beign the first motorcycle to cross the
line in the Baja 1000 in 1967, countless desert races, numerous ISDE
medals, international rallies and many more achievements too numerous to
list. In addition to the single-track trails through woods and river
crossings, JN also has a 2.5 mile motocross track. Although this is a
working ranch, it is motorcycle friendly… Instead of opening gates, JN
has fitted his ranch with ramps to jump over the cow fences. Joining in
the festivities will be JN’s son, Jimmy Roberts and the El Oasis
Orphanage Marketing Director, Daniel Ixcot.

About The Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation

Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation commitment is to orphaned
children in communities that champion motorsports events. We endeavor to

were small, ages 2-4 years old. Today those children are entering high
school and university. It is our goal to provide a higher education for
these children, to assure their self-sufficiency and to give them the
tools they need to be leaders in Baja.” — Joyce and Malcolm Smith
