Long Reach Long Riders Announce Ride Sponsors for 11th Annual Charity Motorcycle RideThe Long Reach Long Riders have announced sponsors for their 11th annual charity motorcycle ride. Reprising their roles in the 2013 ride, Dana Taylor and the Short Reach Short Riders are sponsoring the LRLR T-shirts, and Limelight Productions and Sapsis Rigging, Inc. are each sponsoring a chase car. Dana Taylor comments, "All of the riders pay all of their own expenses, and we're happy to be able to cover this expense for them." The LRLR, which began in 2004 and was supposed to be a one-time event, has grown into an annual tradition with riders from the USA, Canada, and Europe. To date, the ride has raised over $400,000.00. The two charities benefitting from the ride are The ESTA Foundation's Behind the Scenes program and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. "Both charities do such wonderful work", says Limelight Productions president William Beautyman, "It's an honor for us to participate in any way possible." This year's ride, dubbed "Carpe Diem, Carpe Twisty," begins in Baltimore on July 11 and returns to Baltimore after a seven-day jaunt through the mountains of West Virginia, the farmlands of Pennsylvania, and the rolling ranch lands of Virginia.
