The 30th Annual Tomahawk Fall Ride has come and gone. Over twenty thousand motorcycles came to the Tomahawk area over the four day event. There were bands, there were vendors, there was fun to be had and all for a worthy cause. This is the biggest fund raiser of the year for the Muscular Dystrophy Association usually raising well over $100,000.00 for the organization.
A lot of disabled boys and girls get their first chance to go on what for many, is their first motorcycle ride. Smiles abound and memories are made, and for those brief 15 miles all their physical limitations and restrictions blow away in the breeze as it rushes by their faces.
This video will give you a look at the Friday Night Thunder Parade as it takes off from the Tomahawk High School for a 15 mile run and ends up downtown on Wisconsin Avenue.
This year marks the 30th anniversary for the Tomahawk Fall Ride for MDA. Not only is this the largest motorcycle gathering in the state, but it is also one of the biggest fund raisers for the Muscular Dystrophy Association here in Wisconsin. An estimated 30,000 to 40,000 people ride north to the tiny town of Tomahawk to get away, have fun and help out a worthy cause. We want to take this moment to thank everyone from the people who organize the event, to the many volunteers that help out. We also want to throw out a special thanks to all the riders who come north. May you have a great weekend and a safe ride.
