Salisbury Beach will once again be the headquarters for Nelson's Ride Rally, a motorcycle event sponsored by the Massachusetts Motorcyclists' Survivors Fund.
This year's ride takes place Sunday, Aug. 24, and includes hundreds of riders making a 60-mile tour, starting and ending at the beach. The rally raises money to benefit the local families of motorcycle riders killed or injured in accidents.
Nelson's Ride commemorates the death of Nelson Selig Sr., who died in a motorcycle accident in Ipswich in 2000, leaving a young family behind. The ride began as a way to raise money to send Selig's children to college. Established in 2003, the Massachusetts Motorcyclists' Survivors Fund continues its efforts to raise money for other families who've lost loved ones to motorcycle accidents.
