We'll head south on Hwy 49 at Poor Reds for a nice bit of countryside and end up at the Amador County Fairgrounds in Plymouth. |
The Sacramento Hilton Hotel at 2200 Harvard Street is our official hotel.... much the same as our first ride in 2003. Reserve your room online or call 916-922-4700 for a heavily-discounted $49 room the night of Saturday August 23rd. Must reserve by August 4th. Just mention the "Walt Gray Ride".

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. Last year we had about 3,000 riders again and in the five years we've hosted the Walt Gray Ride, we've handed Make-A-Wish $200,000 clear. Thanks to all of you! |
