Back to School Supply Ride
First order of business for this year is a school supply ride for our local schools. We support 3 high schools, a 6th grade center and a plethora of elementary schools in our area. A ride was put together to gather school supplies with great success. 6 bikes and 8 riders road over 50 miles and stopped for lunch at Rich's Famous Burgers in St. James, MO.
We will be collecting supplies until September 7, 2023. This is always a successful event and our schools are so very thankful!
Military Appreciation Day at the Missouri State Fair
A group of AL Riders headed up to Sedalia, Mo in August, for the annual Military Appreciation Day at the fair. It is always a good turn out of bikes and veterans. A great way to thank them for their service!
