The annual Love Ride, a charitable motorcycle rally, is celebrating its 32nd and final year on October 18th. The world’s largest and longest running motorcycle event is going out with a bang. The Love Ride’s motto is “Load up the gear, kick back with a beer and let the weekend roll in.” You can enjoy a weekend filled with great entertainment, food, and, of course, motorcycles.
This year the rally hopes to raise 24 million for The Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project is a veterans’ charity organization. By 2017, the project will have helped over 100,000 wounded veterans, and will have raised 96 million to help warriors and their families.
