Join us at the tables under a covered patio area for 2025's post-ride party meal.

Don't miss our signature strawberries dipped in chocolate ganache served with fresh whipped cream, and other treats as well.

The meal and desserts will be served to all with 2025 ride bibs and available from 11 am to 5:30 pm.
