Advertising Vendors & Supporters:

Special thanks are again extended to Cycle World, Rider, Free 2 Wheel and, this year, to Motorcyclist magazines for their coverage of the classic bike scene in general and this event in particular. With their help, the ride has grown three-fold in the last 10 years. We are also deeply appreciative of the shops and vendors listed below – the folks who help keep us on the road.
