The event will begin with motorcycle ride check-in at 10:00 AM at Twin Cities Church in Grass Valley before riders head out on a scenic Nevada County ride. The community festival will take place from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Western Gateway Park in Penn Valley.
The festival will feature:

Known for organizing the annual Nevada County Toy Run each December, the organization hopes A Ride for Hope will become another major community event focused on bringing people together while supporting local families in need.
“This event is about more than motorcycles,” organizers said. “It’s about community, giving back, and making sure local kids have the support they need heading into the school year.”
Community members are encouraged to attend whether they ride motorcycles or not.
