If you are adding events to your Industry Week calendar, don’t forget the annual Automotive Aftermarket Riders’ Club (AARC) “Ride for the Future.” This year’s ride that begins on Oct. 29 in Las Vegas will take the club to Death Valley and back. All proceeds will benefit the University of the Aftermarket Foundation.
“We hope this year’s ride sets a fundraising record. The more riders that participate and the more pledges made means more money for scholarships and industry educational programs,” said Bill Maggs, lifetime trustee of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation and leader of the pack. “The AARC ride is a fun way to kick things off before schedules become hectic during AWDA and AAPEX. If you can’t ride with us, please consider sponsoring us to benefit the University of the Aftermarket Foundation.”
The 2015 AARC “Ride for the Future” will start from the Las Vegas Harley-Davidson dealership on Thursday, Oct. 29 and head to Furnace Creek Resort at Death Valley National Park in California. Riders will have two full days to explore the park before returning to Las Vegas on Saturday, Oct. 31 with a scheduled arrival time of 6:30 p.m. PT.
Motorcycles can be rented from the Las Vegas Harley-Davidson dealership with an advance reservation.
