August 3rd - Brian's Ride and other local rides

The 2nd Annual MMSF sponsored "Brian's Ride" will go rain or shine on Sunday, August 3rd, from the Jockey Club, in Raynham. Staging begins at 9:30 and 50-mile scenic Ride leaves at 12:00 noon sharp. Last year, over 325 bikes participated.

Funds raised after expenses will be pooled to be available to assist local families of riders killed or seriously injured in accidents.

Advance purchase tickets and event products are now available. Advance ticket purchase gets you up close to the front of the Ride position and into a free drawing for prizes, including 2 tickets (great seats) to the August 31st White Sox vs. Red Sox game and rider training course gift certificates donated by Training Wheels.

Advance riding tickets can be securely purchased on-line up through July 26 at www.BriansRideFriends.org and www.MassMSF.org, or at the following local supporting businesses:

Cape Cod Harley, Pocasset, Chiliheads BBQ, W Bridgewater, Frame Shoppe, Kingston, J&S Leathers, Kingston, Perewitz Cycle Fabrications, Bridgewater, Sweet Lemon's Restaurant, Plymouth, The Jockey Club, Raynham, and Trilogy Cycles, Kingston.

Donation includes food, live music by the Cindy Daly Band ( http://cindydaley.com/band.html ), raffles, silent auction with cool prizes, bike games and lots of good fellowship.

If you're on or near the South Shore, this is a Ride to support, . . . riders helping riders' families in need.
