The Long Reach Long Riders to Ride Again

The Long Reach Long Riders have announced the dates and route for their eighth annual charity motorcycle ride. The 2011 ride will begin on July 1 in Billings, Montana, and wind through some of the wildest landscapes in the United States before finishing back in Billings on July 9. Along the way, the group will visit a number of national parks, including Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Craters of the Moon, and Glacier. Old Faithful and Mammoth Hot Springs are two of the many sites to be visited. The Chief Joseph Scenic Byway and The Highway to the Sun are a couple of the many roads that will be ridden during the 2011 ride.

What was supposed to be a one-time event in 2004 has become an eagerly anticipated annual trip. The ride supports two charities: Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The ESTA Foundation's Behind the Scenes Program. To date, the LRLR have raised over $250,000.00.

Greg Williams, who shares 2011 Ride Marshal duties with his wife, Alice Neff, noted, "Last year's ride was spectacular. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are incredibly beautiful and the ride up the Pacific Coast Highway was breathtaking. Loren Shreiber set a very high bar with last year's ride, but I do believe this year's route will be even better."
