2025 HEROES RIDE INFORMATION!
WHEN: JULY16th-19th
WHERE: Grayling Michigan
DETAILS: This year’s biggest fundraiser will begin and end in Grayling Michigan. We will be staying at the same hotel all the dates and take planned, escorted day trips each day.
The 2025 Heroes Banquet and Auction will be at the OFFICER’S CLUB of Camp Grayling! Transportation is being arranged by a shuttle bus so you may enjoy yourselves without the need to ride your motorcycle after partying.
We currently are working out the details, destinations, and routes, but we are looking at such locations as Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Huron, and possibly the Leelanau Peninsula or the Torch Lake area.
Also, we are working with Camp Grayling and the Michigan National Guard on some very cool side trips to see some of the action up close.
The Meet and Greet will be the evening of Wednesday July 16th at the hotel.
The ride will start the morning of Thursday July 17th. The checkout will be Sunday July 20th.
When you call to make your reservations, be sure to ask for the HEROES RIDE block of rooms. Book your rooms as soon as possible as these wont last long at these prices! Also, be sure to tell them if you will be there for the 16th Meet and Greet night or if you are not going to be there until the start of the ride on Thursday the 17th, make that date clear to them. We don’t want you to pay for an extra night if you don’t need to.

As always this will be an escorted ride using trained Road Guards. We will pre-ride every mile at least 3 times to be sure the roads are the best 2 lane country hardtop roads available. All bathroom and gas stops are preplanned and checked out. All lunch stops are planned. We provide support vehicles and EMS trained road medics. This is our 18th year planning and participating in these rides. We know how to provide a safe, fun ride. All you have to do is sit back and RIDE!!
Thank you everyone for all the laughs and memories!
The 2025 - 18th Annual Heroes Ride was another huge success
