Last year we had Tommy Castro put on a great show for us. We're working on another great band for 2009!
In our first year (2003) we had 1,200 riders. One local HOG Chapter
President said "there were more riders here than the first Laughlin River
Run in '82!"
In 2004, we grew to 1,750 riders and in 2005 we upped that to
2,300 riders. In 2006 we grew to just over 3,000 riders. In 2007 and 2008, we welcomed 3000 riders again and in the six years we've hosted the ride, we've cleared $259,000 to donate. Thanks to all of you!
