I hope this ride is planned better than last year's event. The debacle that occurred on 485 needs to be fixed.&nbsp\\;

Mass confusion. Bikes weaving between lanes all over the place, along with the cars, it was a zoo.&nbsp\\;

Crotch rockets going over to the other lane and doing wheelies, rubber band slamming on brakes, no conception of speed limit.&nbsp\\;

Sorry you had such a bad experience. I was in the same event last year and don't quite remember it being any worse than any other large participation charity ride. There are always going to be a few IDIOTS.

I actually enjoyed the ride last year. especially the event at LOWE'S Motor Speedway. I even won one of the prize drawings!

Oh well....you can't please everyone!

We should be there again this year. We have been to them all so far and honestly the first one was the best and it seems to get worse every year as far as people riding with no common sense

Allen, the problem was that we did not have any traffic control. It was like a "*****-to-the-wall" race to Lowes. That ride was too stressful.
