NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – This year’s Northern California Ride for Kids was held on Oct. 4 with 450 motorcyclists and supporters gathered at Solano Community College in Fairfield for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation fundraiser.

Twenty members of Clear Lake Road Riders attended for a ride in clear, chilly and sunny weather as a California Highway Patrol escort took the riders on a tour of wine country, complete with views of vineyards, mountains and farmland.

This year Clear Lake Road Riders and Hillside Honda were recognized for raising the second highest contributions for the Northern California Ride For Kids.

In addition to attending the ride many Clear Lake Road Riders volunteer on the day of the event.

Some members arrive on the day before the ride to attend training for registration, accounting and host duties. On the day of the ride members also act as escorts for family members who are living with children afflicted with pediatric brain tumors.

When the riders returned to the college, the Celebration of Life program recognized top fundraisers as well as 12 local brain tumor survivors.
