Who We Are
How It Started
The idea took root in 2016, when Local 1 Business Representative Chuck DeMoulin ran into visiting Milwaukee riders at the opening of the Henry Miller Museum here in St. Louis. They told him about the annual East Coast Solidarity Ride, hundreds of IBEW members, every dollar going to charity. He thought that was pretty cool.
Three years later, with permission from the International Union and Local 1 Business Manager Frank Jacobs, Chuck rounded up Local 1 brothers Norm Moss, Dustin Zimmerman, and Mark Callahan, and on October 1, 2019 the Electrical Workers Riding Club, IBEW Local 1 Saint Louis Chapter, became the newest member of the IBEW Motorcycle Riders International network.
We held our first organized rides, then COVID hit. Our first fundraiser, a 50/50 raffle, raised $2,000 for the Local 1 Relief Fund. Six years on, the club has grown well past those original 40 members.
