What a day.
On May 30th, riders, veterans, families, supporters, and community partners came together for the Ride to the Ranch, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it a success.
From the kickstands up at the Redmond Armory to the fellowship, music, food, and laughter at Central Oregon Veterans Ranch, this event was a reminder of what can happen when people come together in support of a greater cause.
The ride itself was absolutely beautiful, winding through Central Oregon and out to Camp Sherman before making our way to the Ranch. If you've never taken that route, we highly recommend adding it to your summer riding list. The scenery, the roads, and the experience are second to none.
A heartfelt thank you to our food sponsors and volunteers:
🥖 Franz Bakery of Redmond for donating the buns
🥩 1875 for providing the meat
🍽️ Pangea for preparing and serving an amazing meal
🥗 Amanda Shirley for the delicious macaroni salad
🍷 Eqwine Wine Bar Mobile Bar for donating their time and service
And a special thank you to our dessert donors:
🧁 Ida's Cupcakes
🍪 Chickybellas
🍰 Cheesecakes by Jerrica
🥧 Humble Crumble Cottage Home Bakery mble Cottage Bakery LLa
👨👧👧 Friends of Central Oregon Veterans Ranch
Thank you to every rider who registered, every volunteer who worked behind the scenes, every business that donated, every musician who shared their talent, and every person who came out to support the mission.
Together, we honored service, strengthened community, and helped support the important work being done by the 1-82 CAV Regimental Association and Central Oregon Veterans Ranch. A special thank you to CVMA chapter 29-8 for the wonderful ride.
Thank you to the cadets from Crook County High School NJROTC for representing! We are proud of you.
The ride may be over, but the memories, friendships, and impact will continue long after the last motorcycle rolled home.
Thank you for riding with us. We can't wait to see you on the next one.
