Ride for a Reason

Wednesday, April 8, 2026

Everyone rides for something.

Kick off Arizona Bike Week with a community charity ride where the cause is personal and the journey takes you along one of Arizona’s favorite scenic routes to Tortilla Flat. Registration begins with morning refreshments as riders gather before heading out together. The ride lasts approximately 2.5 hours round trip, including time for open-road exploration before returning as a group.

This ride isn’t about one organization or a single mission, it’s about your reason. Ride for someone you’ve lost, a battle you’re fighting, something you believe in, or a cause close to your heart. It’s a moment for riders to come together and show up for what matters most.

Show up. Ride together. Ride for a reason.

Requirements: All riders must present a valid motorcycle license and proof of insurance at check-in.
