RideSinCity.com will be attending the annual Fur & Fun Bike Run. This event benefits all the animals at the Nevada SPCA.

The Nevada Patriot Guard is proud to host the Nevada leg of "THE HONOR RUN" which starts in Washington DC and ends at Camp Pendleton, CA.

Ride with Dave Barr as he rides across America to raise money and awareness of our Wounded Warriors and their families, and to give honor to those who serve.  Scroll down for info on Dave's ride.

The purpose of THE HONOR RUN this year is to help the 1st Marine Division Association raise money for the construction of a Fisher House on Camp Pendleton, and to help aid and assist disabled military members and their families who are in need. 

Additionally, a portion of the money raised in Nevada will become a down payment for a Fisher House at the new VA hospital under construction in Las Vegas.

The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need.  The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by providing a home for family members to stay while their loved ones receive treatment for injuries sustained in battle.

The Nevada leg of THE HONOR RUN takes place on Friday, September 4th and runs from Mesquite to Baker, CA.

September 2nd:  Special room rates at the Casablanca Resort in Mesquite (if you want to ride up a day early)

September 3rd:  Special events in Mesquite and then a ride to Zion Harley-Davidson in Hurricane, UT to meet The Honor Run as it comes in from the east.  Then escort the run into the Silver State and enjoy the festivities afterwards at the Casablanca Resort.

September 4th:  Escort Dave Barr and The Honor Run through the Great State of Nevada to Baker, CA (and on to Camp Pendletion is you so desire) ... Kickstands Up at 0600.
